An awareness, fun and food programme for the special children will be organised at a local hotel here on December 13. The programme for the physically handicapped, mentally retarded, deaf, dumb and blind children is being hosted by Karachi-based prominent artist, social worker and peace activist Jimmy Engineer in collaboration with Byram D Avari and his family.
About 300 special children from as many as 15 special educational institutions and training centres in the public and private sectors will be invited. The programme aims at creating awareness among the parents and society about the special children, who need their special attention and affection, Jimmy in a statement said on Wednesday.
Such programmes help the special children overcome their deficiencies, gain confidence about their talent and skills and enable them to feel like their other normal fellow children, he added. It may be mentioned that Jimmy Engineer has been organising programmes for the special children in Karachi for the last five years and he also started such functions in Lahore for the last year.
