“Start by doing what’s necessary; then do what’s possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.” -Francis of Assisi

Some of the most wonderful people are those who don’t fit into boxes. Health & Hygiene help for special needs children was the main aim of the sisters and teachers of Sophia School Interact Club as they planned to collaborate for International Day of Disabled Persons and undertake this activity during this pandemic era. The Sisters of Notre Dame lovingly and carefully packed boxes of hygiene and personal care products like toothbrush, toothpaste, comb, hair oil, bathing and detergent soap, shampoo, cold cream and talcum powder even diapers , toilet sanitation & bathroom cleaning products which were procured for distribution and as a team personally delivered them on 30th November,2020 at three Disability Care Homes.
