Making a better space for differently abled friends

Sabitha Vishwanathan, Research Scholar, Department of Ecology

Sabitha, a Doctoral scholar from Department of Ecology is a volunteer at HEPSN. She helps the differently abled students by reading books, telling them different news of the world and by writing their exams. She also helps them in using audio based computer typing and uses the same for teaching.

Sabitha did her post graduation course from Kochi University and has seen the pathetic condition of students there. She says, “ People with disability are not incapable. They do have a lot of creativity in them. They are very patient and creative. Helping them makes me feel good. It is like helping for a bigger cause by little effort”.
Being a research scholar it is hard for her to get additional time. But she manages few hours when she is called by the students. She also inspires other students of the campus to join hands and share their time to help the differently abled students of the campus. Sabitha expresses her thoughts, “ Earlier, I was not aware of such things here in Pondicherry University, but when I got into contact with this initiative, I joined myself with the HEPSN. Sometimes additional time is not available but I manage to extent, that I may provide them my help as much as possible. Initially, it was mere a generous help but now it has taken shape of a social cause. We do help them and inspire others to join for the aim”.

Volunteering is at the very core of being a human. No one has, made it through life without someone else’s help. A true volunteer makes a living by what makes others happy and that’s the important part of life, Making a better space for special people to live freely.
