SENSE

 SENSE is for people with learning disability. V know that our senses are our best friends, sometimes these are the only things that V could count upon. Our project SENSE does that, it feels, it senses more than any thing else; a project close to our hearts. The project was first started by Smita Singh in August 2010 when the Asian Women Day services joined VAANI. It has since grown and become a place full of joy and friendship. V work with various Day centres. Please contact Smita on info@vaani.org if you would like us to do workshops at your venue.
