In the picture you see lively Subhani 24 years old, below knee amputee,
running as if she had no disability at all.
Note the grace as she ran for Colombo FINS 2011 sports event.
The photo is of the souvenir.
We have now completed fitting 25,000 artificial limbs and appliances for
deformities and disabilities since 1985 with low cost Jaipur stimulated
technology.
Subhani obtained her first limb - prosthesis- a generation ago in 1993-
when 2 years old and has kept coming for replacements, sometimes as often
as twice a year in her teens.
She wins her events often and has competed in Malaysia and Japan taking
silver on each occasion.
We helped her train in computer work at Moratuwa and since then Dilmah-
the famous tea people, have promptly employed her to teach at their
Rainbow Kids School for disabled.
She is socially well adjusted and has a rosy future, the lack of limb
hardly a disability.
Ah yes, she is not short of admirers. I gather three young hopefuls hang
around, hoping. May the best man win!
Cheers to Subhani
And of course cheers to our individual donors.
Those who wish to donate-some of you have- the address and details are in
the cover photo itself.
