It was 0630am in the morning when we reached Gaighat. We received a warm welcome there. After freshening up, it was time for last hour meeting regarding #mission5 , which we held in the local tea-shop. After the meeting, we managed to visit some beautiful places of Gaighat.
After lunch, we move on to the mission site. The place where the
Samyukta Dristibihin Shrot Kachhya (SDSK) was located was 24kms east from Gaighat. Far from development, the way itself was rough and muddy and any one could guess how much deprived situation the support centre had been facing. After riding for 1hr and 15min we reached the mission site: Dristibihin Sewa kendra, there were 19 visually impaired childrens waiting for us. They welcome us with their own creation: a welcome group song. After listening to the song we became speechless, all the members were sure that, those visually impaired children were in lot ways more able and potential then they are being taken as. If given the opportunity they could compete with any mainstream band, and they have been working hard in singing.

We distributed 1 harmonium and 2 madals and after receiving those musical instruments the smiles we see on those faces were the best moment for all of us. Despite musical instruments, we also distributed enough winter clothes to all of them. As music has no boundaries, knowing their passion for music, we feel providing them harmonium and madal was the best part and they will at least have some good practise with those instruments. We believe they can brighten up their moments with the positive vibes of music. Though the logistics were really too tiny in compare to their needs, we were happy that these things at least could bring smile on their faces no matter what period of time.
