Three differently abled persons were felicitated for their great endeavour to join the mainstream with the support of the Roshni Society for their studies and all-round development in spite of their multiple hardships during the past several years.

The first to be felicitated was Mary Christina, studying in Class 12, who is not able to stand erect and walk. Her father Clement leaves her at the school every day. Father Thomas KJ, founder director of Roshni Society, said she was exceptionally bright and leaves no stones unturned on the way of her progress.

Michael, one of the differently abled boys, married and settled down in life, blessed with a baby girl, lives in Gharyala village of Patti. He makes candles and supplies them to shopkeepers and does similar other things for this maintenance.

Sarwan Jose, a very good example of a PPRP –Post Polio Residual Paralysis case, settled down in life with the support of Roshni for the correction of his deformity and after basic studies in regular schools. He studied up to BA final privately and now works as office assistant of the society for several years. He is specially felicitated for his success in building a house of his own in Sansarpur village.

All these celebrations were on the occasion of the birthday of Fr. Thomas KJ, who had recently completed 50 years as a priest.
