" I am a part of the Cisco CSR group and we have been working with Sense India for more than 2 years and it has been a great journey. There are very few NGOs that work under dual disability and they are making an amazing impact. We have unique sessions where the employees learn to read and write in Braille have awareness sessions as well. We are hoping for more engagement with Sense India."

"19 sep 2018 I met Naman - 4-year-old deafblind child at Sense India's partner organisation in Delhi. It took me 46 years to truly realise that I can see, hear, smell, taste and touch. I felt blessed. Since then I vouched to run for deafblind children for life, raise funds and do something meaningful for them."
