“The
success of the first show has seen immense changes in the artist’s lives. Their
self esteem and confidence has grown. They have become independent and are able
to look after basic financial needs. At home, they are respected by their
family rather being treated as a burden”, adds Ms Manju Utamchandani,
Project Co-ordinator, Society for the Education of the Crippled (SEC).
