A cheque amounting BD 150 was handed over to “SNEHA” – a flagship and dream project run by Indian Ladies Association (ILA), aimed at bringing out the hidden talents of children with special needs. Ms. Sarada Ajith (SNEHA Coordinator), Ms. Sangeeta Agarwal (SNEHA Coordinator) and Ms. Nalini Vipin (SNEHA volunteer) collected the cheque in an event organized in the school campus on Thursday.
