Dear all,
This is a school for the less fortunate among us... The dyslexics,
"Dyslexia is a specific learning difficulty that mainly affects reading and spelling. Dyslexia is characterized by difficulties in processing word-sounds and by weaknesses in short-term verbal memory; its effects may be seen in spoken language as well as written language. The current evidence suggests that these difficulties arise from inefficiencies in language-processing areas in the left hemisphere of the brain which, in turn, appear to be linked to genetic differences.
Dyslexia is life-long, but its effects can be minimised by targeted literacy intervention, technological support and adaptations to ways of working and learning. Dyslexia is not related to intelligence, race or social background. Dyslexia varies in severity and often occurs alongside other specific learning difficulties, such as Dyspraxia or Attention Deficit Disorder, resulting in variation in the degree and nature of individuals’ strengths and weaknesses."
My aunt offers free voluntary service to this school by way of teaching the children. It is while discussing with her that I came to know of this. This school has met with some success in weaving out dyslexics into normal individuals capable of making their way in this world. Such a school has gladdened may a parent's heart.
The tough situation that they face currently is shortage of funds which could possibly hamper operations of the school. Even a brick counts in the building of a wall - with this in mind, I post this piece of info.
If the feel to contribute to such an effort sparks in you, the attached scan shows the Bank details and the contact person to guide you.
You could also pass this on to individuals whom you feel, could aid the cause.
Appreciate your good sense in taking time to read through this post.
Thanks & Regards,
Seshadri
