This card was painted by Shahanawaz Shaikh (16 years old in 2011). Shahanawaz was only one year old when he contracted poliomyelitis, after taking the polio vaccine.  His mother was in shock, and tried to find the way to correct this, thinking her son had the advantage of the medicine.  He went with her to churches, gurudwaras, everywhere, but
there was no improvement to his health. At the age of 7, someone suggested that the Society for the Education of the Crippled who could help, indicating that they educate physically challenged children, and that is how he joined us
 
He says he is not sad to be handicapped, but has found everything he needs.  “I paint, I dance and I swim.  I feel that I have more than the normal person, and what I love the most is to paint and express myself.  After I have mastered the art of painting, I would love to teach this to all my friends, especially those who are handicapped”.

This card was painted by Bandenawaz Nadaf  (23 years old in 2011). Bandenawaz Nadaf was born with a congenital anomaly.  He has no arms, and his father was very upset, not knowing how he could provide for his physically challenged child.
 
A man from the circus was willing to buy him at a good price, and at first, his mother agreed.  When the man came to take her little child, she changed her mind.  She says this child is more precious than any treasure on earth, and today, whatever Bendenawaz does today is to please his family.
 
His education, however, was an ordeal.  No school wanted to admit him, as they were certain he would disrupt the class.  Finally, they heard of the Society for the Education of the Crippled, and he was admitted instantly.  With all of our facilities, he got what he needed, and more importantly, what he truly wanted.

When Haseeb Chaudhary (18 years old in 2011) was only 6 months old, he contracted poliomyelitis, and heard of the Society for the Education of the Crippled through a friend he had, who was crippled, also. He joined our school when only 6 years old.

Through SEC, he had corrective and successful surgery. Before this, he could not sit straight, and his back used to bend forward. Now he can sit and can walk with the help of calipers and crutches.

Today, he is studying in FYJC, and says he does not have any regret about what has happened to him. “If God takes away something, he also gives something back. He has given me so much, and this opportunity to paint is wonderful”.
