We had the great fortune to be addressed by the secretary of the Amar Seva Sangam, Mr Sankara Raman. Founded in 1981, the Amar Seva Sangam has been instrumental in providing much needed rehabilitation and training to disabled people in order to help them lead normal lives. In circumstances where disabled people have been looked upon as a curse, neglected and marginalised, the Seva Sangam has been a beacon of hope that has helped overcome adversity and seen them emerge stronger.
Mr Sankara Raman himself is a chartered accountant who has secured gold medals in spite of a muscular dystrophy that has rendered most of his body paralysed. The talk was very touching and we all realised that we really had no reason to complain about the little difficulties that we faced in life as people has successfully overcome much greater challenges.
