At the SWID Intellectual Disability and Autism School in Narayanganj, AYAT Education hosted a fun and imaginative program for kids with special needs on December 4, 2024, at 11 AM.
The purpose of the event was to foster creativity, increase self-esteem, and give the kids a fun atmosphere. The event’s theme, “We Shall Overcome,” was intended to motivate these kids to overcome their obstacles and succeed.
The kids eagerly engaged in a range of artistic pursuits, such as games, singing, dancing, and sketching. The organisers claim that the children’s creativity, coordination, communication, and social skills are all enhanced by these activities.
The program was hosted by AYAT Education’s Assistant Project Officer, Sarwar Alam. Speaking at the event, Project Coordinator Sumit Banik said, “Children with special needs are an integral part of our society and possess immense potential. Through this event, we aimed to provide them an opportunity to showcase their hidden talents. We are thrilled to have gifted these children a joyful day. We are grateful to everyone who contributed to making this event a success, particularly the teachers, parents, and staff of SWID School.”
The head teacher of SWID School, Fazlul Amin, appreciated the initiative, saying, “AYAT Education’s program provided a unique experience for our students. Such events boost their confidence and help them integrate into regular life. I hope initiatives like this will continue, as they positively impact the intellectual and emotional growth of these children.”
AYAT Education’s Project Coordinator Halima Akter Lima shared, “Today’s theme, ‘We Shall Overcome,’ carries a powerful message for these children. It signifies their ability to overcome any obstacles and prove themselves. We hope today’s program sparks new light in their lives, paving the way for their future success.”
The school’s management committee member Kamar Uddin Ahmed said, “This event really brought a festive atmosphere to our school.” The program was a huge hit with parents and students alike. Your initiative and hard work have had a significant impact.
AYAT Education donated two ceiling fans to the school and gave school bags to forty-five children as part of the initiative. The Mamatamay Narayanganj project’s community volunteers helped with the occasion by decorating the space with vibrant handcrafted goods.
The program was coordinated by Community Mobilizers Ananna Rahman and Fahim Hossain. Among those present were Kazi Dalil Uddin Dulal from the school’s management committee, senior teacher S.M. Meher Parvin, assistant teacher Ruma Akter, AYAT Education’s senior executive Fahmida Akter Mou, visualizer Rifayet Hasan Sojal, and parents of the students. AYAT Education, a social enterprise prioritizing inclusive education and health, remains committed to empowering children with special needs and integrating them into mainstream society. The organization plans to continue such initiatives in the future.
