Through a stunning effort in its 8th edition of POORNAM, the non-profit UNMISH, based in Kolkata, has made such a significant contribution to the lives of children and young people with disabilities. In 2023, the focus is on empowering kids. They are assisting these young adults in developing the necessary skills to work and support themselves as contributing members of society.

It’s also admirable that Mrs. Nita Diwan, the founder, and director of UNMISH, conceptualizes events year after year with the express purpose of empowering these kids. This demonstrates the organization’s dedication to improving the lives of those in need. Overall, the event was a huge success, and it is encouraging to see groups like UNMISH attempting to have a positive influence on a society that is inclusive. Numerous things happen that raise awareness, yet we strive for acceptance and integration.

Renowned actors, Prosenjit Chatterjee, and other notable personalities from different walks of life were present to encourage and support the young participants, which undoubtedly boosted their morale and helped them feel appreciated and valued. The presence of such personalities not only adds credibility to the event but also helps to raise awareness about the cause that the organization is working towards. Overall, the event was a resounding success and had the support of the wider community.  U.S. Consulate General, Kolkata (India) Melinda Pavek was also present to encourage the children.

Through numerous activities like learning curve therapeutic fun games, talent shows, sensorial sessions, dance, singing, and playing different instruments, the special kids were able to explore who they were. As part of the program, their vocational unit, UDAAN, also produced an art exhibition to further enhance this historic occasion. It is worth noting the efforts put forth by the entire UNMISH team, including their founder and director Mrs. Nita Diwan, to make sure that the participants and guests had a wonderful time.
