Rumpa and Shoaib’s story

Hi Everyone,

A short time ago I was sent reports for 2 handicapped children that Children are Angels from Heaven sponsors each year at the Indian Institute of Cerebral Palsy that I would like you to read……

IICP is a wonderful place for handicapped children. I am very proud that Children are Angels from Heaven with all of your help , is a part of this Wonderful ,Loving, Caring, School.

Soaib & Rumpa are only two of hundreds of children who go to this school every day.

Some of the Children come from very poor families and the family income might be 3,000 Rs per month. Converted to USA funds that would amount to just under $50 US Dollars per month.

Please understand that having to care for handicapped children is not easy. One thing for sure, IICP is there to help every child with the special needs that they require with a very dedicated professional staff.

Again, I am very proud Children are Angels from Heaven is a small part of this wonderful program ….

Please see the report below. I hope that you understand that I have taken some of the personal information out of the report .

Thank You for your help

In the grooming session, Rumpa can list all the facial products like scrubber, massage cream, moisturizer, rose water, face towel etc. She occasionally likes to wear nail polish which matches her outfit.

Rumpa enjoys listening to Bengali songs especially Rabindra Sangeet and always requests the music teacher to sing some popular ones. She went to the Rabindra Sadan to see the annual concert and also attended the IICP exhibition at the Birla Industrial and Technological Museum. She enjoyed both outings thoroughly.
