Lighting Lives: Diwali Shopping with Thaaikarangal
September 21, 2025
A Joyful and Inclusive Experience for 108 Visually Impaired Students
On *21st September 2025, Thaaikarangal Charitable Trust, in association with **Araam Organization, organized a special *Diwali Shopping Event at *Reliance SMART Superstore, Madhavaram*.
A total of *108 visually impaired students, accompanied by **40 dedicated volunteers*, participated in this unique initiative. For many of them, it was the first time experiencing the joy of choosing their own clothes, accessories, and festive essentials — an opportunity most of us take for granted.
This event was not just about shopping. It was about *confidence, independence, and dignity*. With the patient guidance of volunteers, every student experienced the happiness of making their own choices, creating memories they will carry with them forever.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to *Araam Organization* for sponsoring and supporting this meaningful initiative. A very special thanks to *Mrs. Grishma Rathi* for introducing Araam to Thaaikarangal and making this collaboration possible.
At Thaaikarangal Charitable Trust, we believe such experiences are essential to building inclusion and empowering visually impaired students to lead fuller, more independent lives.
✨ Together, let’s continue to spread light, joy, and opportunity. ✨
