It is a day to not only honour your father, but all men who act as a father figure. Usually, when a child has special needs, the mother is 24x7 present with the child. The father seems to be around in the background. It is observed that when a father plays an active role in the child's life, the progress is remarkable, the child is more secure & happy. I have come across few Dads who have done wonders for their child with special needs. Their involvement is total. I have the privilege to know Mr. Nagesh Ghadi, Prasad Ghadi's father who always took up night shifts since Prasad's birth to look after him during daytime because Prasad's mother is a teacher in a day school & used to take care of Prasad's needs at night. Prasad had Spinal Muscular Atrophy & needed constant attention & care. ChildRaise pays tribute to all such Dads !!! Spinal Cord Injury Awareness Day, 25th June 2013 Spinal Cord Injury Awareness Day is celebrated on 25th June. A spinal cord injury usually begins with a sudden, traumatic blow to the spine that fractures or dislocates the vertebrae. The damage begins at the moment of injury when displaced bone fragments, disc material, or ligaments bruise or tear into the spinal cord tissue. Most injuries to the spinal cord don't completely sever it. Instead, an injury is more likely to cause fractures and compression of the vertebrae, which then crush and destroy the axons, extensions of nerve cells that carry signals up and down the spinal cord between the brain and the rest of the body.An injury to the spinal cord can damage a few, many, or almost all of these axons. Some injuries will allow almost complete recovery. Others will result in complete paralysis. Pioneering work in SCI field is done by Nina Foundation (Founder- Prof.Ketna Mehta) whose vision is to spread optimism & work towards rehabilitation of SCI person inspite of this condition.

June 27th is her birthday. Born in Tuscumbia, Alabama-USA, in 1880, Helen Keller developed a fever at 18 months of age that rendered her blind and deaf. With the help of a miracle teacher, Anne Sullivan, she learned sign language & Braille. Later on in life, she became a tireless advocate for people with disabilities. Helen Keller is the symbol of hope. She is the guiding force to many who are striving to inch ahead in spite of insurmountable odds. She spells the path from impossible to possible. Her words will always inspire & show us the light...Read More about her<http://childraise.us7.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=4af2df1c5ae7fae7f9c7fce23&id=bbe302e35e&e=700c11bd8a> ChildRaise is Associate Partner with Miss Wheelchair India 2013First time in India- “MISS WHEELCHAIR INDIA 2013” a Beauty Pageant, scheduled to be held on 24th of November 2013 in Mumbai at a Suburban Hotel.
