Testimonials

At Trinayani, we have always believed that our achievements have been possible because of the support of our partners and collaborators. We are grateful to them for giving us the opportunity, showing faith in us and helping us take some steps towards creating awareness about disabilities. Here is what our partners have to say about us.

  • Throughout my 50 years of working in the Indian Educational system, I have been concerned about “the one size fits all” principle that unfortunately underlies the educational system. We have appreciated Ritika and her work for many years and have been happy to sponsor her puppet show “The Learning Factory”. The show itself clearly shows the need for a more inclusive approach to children’s differing learning needs in a fun-filled manner. Even in the creation of the show she inclusively trained people from diverse backgrounds to become its puppeteers, We need more Ritikas who can work collaboratively together to bring about a sea change in thinking so that all children are able to learn happily and in their own way, experiencing repeated success. Well done Ritika!

  • I really loved the Puppet Show, “The Animal Story”. It has such a poignant message communicated so effectively that can reach any teacher and any parent. All children are different and we have to identify their strengths and hone them to maximize their individual talent. Such a simple thing and yet we try to measure all children with the same yardstick!

  • It was a very interactive session. Ritika ma’am played card games with the participants. The event had its own bonus takeaways for everyone which wasn’t just fun but also very informative. We learnt a lot through this session and the games that we played. These games can be played with our friends and family as well. The session was very insightful and helped us understand more about the inclusive community. A big thank you from all of us. It was a great session. We are very eager to attend more such events in the future.

  • I would like to say a huge thank you for that wonderful workshop. I would not use the word workshop rather would use the term, I opened up, and words are not just enough to express what I felt at that particular moment after the entire experience. As human beings, I’ve realized, more so after entering the teaching profession that we fail to understand or we fail to recognize certain situations, just because it hasn’t happened with us or it has not happened to our near and dear ones. So creating awareness is such an amazing thing to do, and a huge responsibility on your shoulders for our country. And not just creating awareness creating it in such a beautiful and innovative manner. So once again thank you so very much for the wonderful experience.

  • Thank you Trinayani for organizing this Zoom meeting for Father Agnel’s teachers and staff. We had a lovely time. We understood what was this kit all about. We understood the card games, which you very nicely explained to us. I learned that these cards can be played like Uno. And while playing, while interacting, we learned new words like – tactile chess. I never knew that people who are visually impaired could play chess. This was a new, Ah! moment for me. I also learned a few things. So unknowingly – knowingly, through these card games, we learn many things and in our small ways, we too can do something for them.

  • My students and I learned a lot about how to address or even perceive disability. I felt it was very important to make us realise the shift towards inclusion rather than a segregated approach to supporting the disabled.
