Social integration is a huge break through like project for the candidates training at EnAble India, as it aims to break the barriers between the candidates, their families and the society around them on the whole. It allows them to perform those tasks that they are not allowed to perform otherwise at home or else where, due to their visual challenge. This time too was no different.
By breaking such barriers, the candidates rise up and evolve to become stronger, more confident individuals who then feel better equipped to take on the world around them. This project gets them to explore themselves and exposes them to their inner strengths hidden within.
The Tasks, could be varying in nature, like ironing one's own clothes, buying one's own dresses, booking a cab independently, cooking one's own food, operating an ATM by oneself, walking alone on road etc.
Completing these tasks, gives candidates a sense of achievement and accomplishment, more importantly, builds their confidence by erasing the doubts in the minds of their parents/surrounding folk, about their incapability to do things. This brings about a significant change in the way that families and friends alike treat and look at these candidates, in day-to-day life with renewed hope and delight.
