Participants speak
Orko Roy (from Mumbai): I made friends with many people and specially Shabir from Pondicherry. I enjoyed working with Andrew and that helped me focus. I loved Ram and his ideas about art and autism (Jan2009)
Shabir's mother: My son had always hid his face and at school he would hide himself under the desk. Now after the mask sessions he is happy and looks at me He is happy at school. The mask helped him. (Jan2009 at Pondicherry)
Dr.Devaki: My son Sachin enjoyed playing with other children and it was a great holiday for me as well. Getting to know other parents and supporting each other
Kausik Roy: father of Orko Roy: It was a well organized festival and I was happy to meet with many parents and enthuse them. I was also happy that Apna Asman was screened at the festival.
Sam Ashis Marcus (from Hyderabad): The festival gave me confidence. Though I have been learning music for several years only after training at Madurai I gained the confidence to sing before an audience. I feel confident as a performer. Now I can sing before any audience.
Siddique: My son Abbas attended the festival last year and this year too. There are a lot of changes in him. Now he can socialise, he can paint and he also has discovered anew passion for running race. He loves 200 metres race now.
Sumathi: I attended the workshop this year and it helped my son Kannabiran very much. My son focused on my face during the facial mask session. First time in my life my son smiled and looked at my face and suddenly said,Mummy, your bindi is gone.
