Impact:

Bandenawaz was born with a congenital anomaly. He has no arms. His father was very upset and did not know how he could provide for his physically challenged child.

A man from the circus was willing to buy him at a price. At first his mother agreed, but when the circus man came to take her little baby she changed her mind. She said this child is more precious than any treasure on earth and they kept Bandenawaz.

Then his education was an ordeal: no school wanted to admit him as they felt he would disrupt the class. Finally, they heard of Society for the Education of the Crippled, and he was admitted to our school. With all our facilities, he got what he was looking for. He got an education, rehabilitation and blossomed into a good artist.

Bandenawaz wanted to learn painting, and we managed to get a donor to sponsor his art training. Today Bandenawaz is a painter. He paints with his feet. He has worked on a range of paintings for our art exhibition and is appreciated by all who see his work. Mr. Jehangir Sabavala and Sheriff of Mumbai Dr. Indu Shahani are some of the people who have appreciated his work.
