Lighting the Path of Diwali: A Memorable Experience with Blind Children
I am Aahan Prajapati from Adani International School, Ahmedabad, and recently, I had the privilege of working with some truly inspiring children. Along with my schoolmates Devarsh, Ananya, and Chahat, we were selected to teach students from the Blind People’s Association, Andh Kanya Prakash Gruh, and Gokul Ashram School how to make Diyas for Diwali.
The children’s enthusiasm and creativity were nothing short of inspiring. Despite facing significant challenges, they approached each task with unwavering focus and joy. Their efforts truly captured the essence of Diwali—bringing light into lives and spreading warmth. Every diya they crafted was more than just a decorative piece; it symbolized resilience and a bright spirit.
What made the experience even more meaningful was that these children sell the diyas they create to raise funds. Knowing that their hard work contributes to their self-sufficiency and helps support their community made the entire process even more special.
This experience filled me with admiration for these young minds, whose determination and positivity left an indelible mark on me. They showed me that true resilience is not defined by limitations, but by the strength to overcome them with a smile.
