President – Pooja Patel

I myself, Pooja Patel from Rajkot. I got married on 23rd Feb 2004 and went to Jaipur with family. After one n half year by grace of God I got a baby boy named Vasu. It was an excellent moment and we all were very happy. After completion of 2 years we got to know that my child is not a normal kid, and everything had stopped suddenly and shocked, had no words to describe my feelings. After some time, I had decided to do something for this kind of children since I had tried many schools and support my son, but I was helpless.

Then I had joined Umang School at Jaipur with my son and decided this should be the life to support those kids anyhow as much as I can till, I live.

I had started studying B.Ed. with Special Education in Jaipur and moved back to my home town to do something at my home town, Rajkot. I joined Prayas Parent’s Association as an Admin and Vice President with 3 special kids now I am proud to say that I am the mother of 150+ kids with 700+ Members with me.

I have also completed recently M.Ed. in Special Education so that I can provide best ever training to my kids and spread the awareness, I have had received many awards and it’s all dedicated to these Special Kids.
