"...The newly-formed organization named: The Helping Hand Organization (H2O-created by the HF-7 batch) organised the Holy Family Film Festival 2008 from May 28 to May 31 to raise funds, part of which would be subsequently donated to the Society for the Welfare of Autistic Children (SWAC)."

Its not much.. but its a start :)

Honouring Feb.21

It was hot and humid with the sun at our face; We had to wait in long queues; We perspired a lot but, nontheless, even oceans of our sweat would fade in comparison to the sacrifices our freedom fighters made, on that day, with their blood!

A Seminar on Autism conducted by H2O for the Doctors and Teachers of HFRCMC!

Everything was going well, with the Head of Staff of SWAC explaining the various signs and symptoms of autistic children, the crowd was good, everyone were attentively listening. It was only the lack of sound, due to technical difficulties (and the short time we had in arranging all this!) when it came to viewing an autistic film that we had procured, that sorely had us disappointed. I had to talk all the way to try and get people to understand the various scenes and clips of the short film. We did our best to give them a picture of autism and autistic children more visually, and being our first time arranging such a huge seminar with only a day to spare... I guess we did ok!

A Film Festival to raise funds for autistic children at HFRCMC

We weren't able to raise much, but all the funds were, albeit small, were gracefully received by the Society for the Welfare of the Autistic Children (SWAC). That made our day...

The story of Zareen......

Thats the little girl chewing her pinky. She survived great odds to live, with her mother trying to abort her and all. Unfortunately, her life came with a price. Moderate mental retardation, with some features of autism! But she takes it all in her stride, overcomes and even inspires us with her sweet innocent smile! God bless her...
