Satya Special School opened its second satellite centre at Marakkanam, about 35 kilometres from Pondicherry.

The need for the centre was apparent as 25 children were enrolled as soon as word went out about the centre. We also realized how important this centre was, when we saw that of the 25 or so children, only 15 were under 12 years of age. The others were older and are accessing specialized services for the first time.

It was heartwarming to see the support of the local community to this initiative.

Thank you to Ms. Jagadeeshwari, Child Development Project Officer, Marakkanam; Mr. N. Venkataramani of Ramoney Financial Insurance Services; and Dr. Ramya Moorthy, of Nimiya Innovations for gracing the occasion.
