Tricolours made by special needs children to flutter at Madin campus

The students of Madin Able World here were ablaze with excitement on Thursday as they braced up to celebrate the 79^th Independence Day. With determination and passion, they rose above their physical and mental challenges to craft thousands of vibrant Tricolour flags and badges.

Their excitement was palpable on the Independence Day eve as they prepared to unfurl their handiwork on August 15. They made flags in varying sizes, symbolising the nation’s unity and diversity.

The pièce de résistance of the day was when the students gifted their handmade Tricolours to Madin Academy chairman Syed Ibrahim Khaleel Bukhari. Their faces radiated joy and pride as they watched him appreciate their gesture.

The stage is set for a grand celebration of Independence Day on Friday as Madin Academy and its subsidiary institutions are prepared to unfurl the Tricolours made by the Madin Able World.

“I am thrilled to witness the joy of these children,” said Mr. Khaleel Bukhari. “Differently abled children deserve to be an integral part of society. We must do everything possible to bring them into the mainstream, rather than isolating them,” he added.

Madin Able World provides training to children with special needs aged 5-18. Their classes are tailored to their individual IQ levels. As part of their curriculum, students learn to craft various items such as disposable plates, umbrellas, candles, artificial flowers, seed pens, table mats, bags, earrings, bead chains and flags. The institution also offers equivalency programmes and scholarships to support their development.
