Looking Beyond Disabilities
On 6 September 2003, many Sai
centres along with Sai youth organised a ‘Day at the Beach’, in
Southern California, for over 50 physically and mentally disabled
children and adults. Nearly 125 volunteers participated in this
project, bringing joyful smiles to the faces of these children.

projects involving music, dance, human values songs and games
aimed at helping the children express their innate God-given
abilities. Here are some photographs…..
