Forbearance that they share...

The combat that our volunteers showed after their first visit to Mister Dinesh, Friends Organization at Karampura:

"It was a great learning curve for us. We weren't comfortable in the beginning but as time passed by our nerves eased. We had chosen this work to help others. But this experience gave a new exposure and direction to our lives. Mr. Dinesh's will power to still fight with the life made us strong both mentally and physically. We learnt a lot from this experience and it will help us immensely in our lives."

"Initially I had some problem comprehending his words but soon got used to it.  I was really inspired to know the determination he possessed to bring a change for the betterment of those with disability. Learnt that if u resolve to do something then anything be it biological deformity can no longer be a hindrance. It was indeed a great experience with some lessons learnt."

"My First experience at FRIENDS ORGANIZATION was heart-rending & stupendous. Its so inspiring to see the will, determination & the struggle of organization's chairperson, Mister Dinesh who doesn't consider himself disabled and wants 'disabled' term to be removed from society. I realized that cutting off the time we spend in hanging out with friends, shopping, movies, if we just give few hours in a month and do our bit by volunteering and supporting this social cause, it would make a BIG DIFFERENCE and make us feel contended."

Friends Organization- A vision for differently abled

Friends Organisation is a Delhi based NGO working for differently-abled adults since November 2003 headed by Mister Dinesh. Friends Organisation provides differently-abled adults a common platform for interaction, growth and learning and strives for the provision of equal opportunities for them.

The main aim of Friends Organisation is to improve the quality of life of differently-abled people. It aims to do that through its three point programme:

Provision of Recreational Facilities: Every month, Friends organisation organizes one recreational activity. The nature of these activities ranges from movie screenings, music concerts and variety programs to field trips within and outside Delhi. These events provide an opportunity for leisure, entertainment and relationship-building.

Creating Awareness: Most persons with disabilities are unaware of the Government policies and support groups and systems in place for the promotion of their wellbeing. Through our awareness programs, we attempt to inform them of the various Government policies, welfare schemes available as well as the organisations working for their support.

Finding Employment Opportunities:  Another area that Friends Organisation is working on is seeking avenues of employment for differently-abled people.

In its endeavors, Friends Organisation ties up with several organisations across Delhi. These NGO’s are used as a site for their events.

In addition to this, Mister Dinesh needs help only in compiling, paper work, documentation, drafting letters etc, as he suffers from Cerebral palsy (a disease in which brain works but body does not responds).

Anyone can lend a helping hand.
