Two more paraplegics get wheels



On 13th January 2011, Nirmalya Trust handed the keys of two scooters with side-wheels to paraplegic candidates Hasan Mujawar and Subhash Sutar.

A large contribution for these scooters came from Dr. Aruna and Dr. Ravi Mene. Over the course of 2010 they raised funds for this project through the sale of greeting cards and calendars specifically designed and printed for this purpose. Mr. Mene, an excellent wildlife photographer, contributed his pictures to the stationary that was sold; Mrs. Mene personally made cards with patchwork designs using cloth. These articles were sold to raise funds at events in the UK where the Mr. and Mrs. Mene reside.

These two sparkling new Hero Honda Pleasure scooters will give both these working candidates the freedom of movement they so need in their day-to-day life.
