Integration Through Inclusive Play
< Activities < Home
Kilikili organises Integration and Inclusion Events that reach out to children from special and regular schools. The Integration Events aim at helping children of all abilities learn to interact with each other, in a spirit of equality and with sensitivity. We believe this interaction will help children without disabilities understand and deal with diversity in a sensitive and humane manner. For children with disabilities, being accepted as part of a larger social group, without discrimination will enhance their sense of self-worth.
Children from Whitefield come to Coles Park
19 July 2008
On 19 July 2008, about 40 children with disabilities accompanied by their parents and teachers were brought to Coles Park by Sahaya.
Rupa, the key person behind Sahaya has this to say about the Coles Park outing...
"As a parent, it was the most heart warming experience because it was the first time I took my son to a park and the fact that he could go all around the place in a wheelchair and also that he could actually play in the merry-go-round was something I could never think of. I will always cherish that and as a volunteer from Sahaya, it has motivated me to do the same in a park in our neighborhood. Hats off to Kilikili for giving me this experience."

The Accenture Event
13th Dec 2008
On 13th Dec 2008, 40 children with disabilities from the school run by the Association of People with Disabilities and Bal Jyoti Trust visited Coles Park in an event sponsored by Accenture. Volunteers from Accenture helped in pre-event work as well as helped out on the Event day. Some volunteers have expressed a desire to continue to relate with Kilikili in a more sustained basis.
