On 6th March, 2013, Raju from Esha took a
workshop. It was very impactful. Children were very thankful to Raju Bhaiya for
taking then on a journey with no eyes. It was conducted to sensitise the
children towards visual impairment and after the workshop we all felt that
without this workshop we could not have created the same impact.

More 9Tankis with students - IIT Delhi and The Sri Ram School, Aravali
As i have said before.. when we do 9Tankis with children, it always excites me more because when we sensitise the children, we sensitise the future.
So we are very happy to talk about the workshops that happened this quarter - with IIT Delhi, and with Class 7 students of The Sri Ram School, Aravali campus.
The pictures of the Sri Ram School workshop are here:

For IIT Delhi, we could only get this picture:
Raju Koli continues to be very popular with all the people who attend the workshop. His feedback is so positive that even we are moved and touched, every single time.
I was reading through the IIT Delhi feedback and if even 10% of these students remember a part of the experience they went through today.. we will live in a lot more inclusive world.
Even at The Sri Ram school, the enthusiasm of the teachers, and their involvement in the entire project was so wonderful...
days like this make us want to send a prayer - someone up there is watching out for us.. :)

Feedback on the Copal Partners Staged Encounters
Syed Ayaz Mehndi
Life is a gift, and we sometimes take it for granted. We are displeased with what we have and always wish for more. I think if we stop and thing and look around us, there are so many people in the world who are not only poor but have some kind of disability.

Vision is n ability which is so important and this workshop
helped me thing about it, again, in between my materialistic life. Thanks so
much. The interaction was great. Keep up

I would like to thank esha Braille and AICB for giving us
the opportunity to be a part of this program. This was really an eye opener. I
feel we all are really lucky that we can see. Now I can feel that it would
actually be difficult if we have to feel how these people feel. Their pain can
not be felt, cannot be imagined. Just in 5 minutes we felt so much of pain in
finding each other. Everything was blank. It is seriously a pain. Thanks a lot
again. Feel lucky that I could join.
Feedback from the Copal Partners Theater Workshop - July 2012
In this series, we post feedback of all the participants, in a series of posts - this is part 1. :-)

Its an honor and pleasure to be a part of this event. When
we came across Raju and team, we realised the true meaning of vision in our
lives. Its just that we are very selfish that we don’t try to understand its true
meaning. I personally feel once I get a chance and If I am eligible, I would
like to donate my eyes for someone.
Attending the theatre workshop was an experience that made
me practically realise how difficult it is to live life and get through day to
day work without the gift of vision. I salute the people who are living a
strong and independent life without vision and I believe every individual
should have that kind of passion in life to do something in life.
I am considering taking the decision of doing something more
and contributing for the blind after this experience.
Thank you!
It is indeed very inspiring to see a blind person living his
life to the fullest. It makes you think and makes you want to do more with you
own life. A very big thank you to the organisers of this event to make me
realise what more I should be doing with my life. A very powerful and confident
presentation which was fun at the same time.
Theater Workshop (Staged Encounters) _ Copal Partners - July 2012
The best thing about Staged Encounters is that it’s a laugh riot.
Sample this:
How will we know its evening?
Ask the rooster, he was the one who told us about the morning.
Or this:
Beta, will you donate your eyes?
Wait papa, let me ask Pinky. (his gf)
When you spend 3 hours laughing, it does a world of good to your health.
The Theater workshop at Copal Partners was conducted in 2 batches – On 19th and 20th July, 2012
Lots of unique things about this workshop :
2 Friends of Esha volunteered to be co-trainers and experienced this workshop for the first time. Thank you, Ayesha and Smitha
The members of the first batch loved the trainer so much that the next day, when Raju went back for the second batch, the first batch had a gift waiting for him. We were all so touched. This was the first time that a batch actually thought of buying something for Raju.
It is very common to find people laughing their hearts out in Staged Encounters. But for the first time, we also saw people crying openly. Yes, in an office. That was a never before moment for Esha.
Parul (the HR manager from Copal Partners) just summed it up best :
Didn’t know how easily a small 3 hour workshop can bring so much appreciation for life, vision and just living.
