It is a great platform for the differently abled to express their creativity and skills and to spread the message on behalf of the disability sector that we are not disabled but specially enabled. We are grateful to the British High Commissioner, Sir Dominic Asquith and Lady Louise Asquith for allowing us to use their garden for this fun day which beautifully epitomises integration of the differently abled?
