Welcome to TRINAYANI

Welcome to
SPARSH Foot Spa..

Do you know how many Indians are disabled and how many active young Indians are becoming disabled everyday as results of Diseases, Accidents, Wars, Malnutrition, and Lack of Awareness? Please remember:

Disability Can Meet Anyone, Anywhere, Anytime!

It is NOT SOMETHING WHICH HAPPENS TO “OTHERS”

TRINAYANI, a nonprofit organization founded in 2006 by Ritika Sahni works towards mass awareness of disability issues and support to persons with disabilities. We specialize in demystifying the subject of disability through disability awareness training which is usually co-hosted by both disabled and non disabled presenters. We believe that neglecting the cause of including people with disabilities in the mainstream of social life happens more out of ignorance, misinformation and exposure to Appropriate Visibility of persons with disabilities.                                             

We hold Celebrating Diversities / Disability Equality / Sign language and Disability Awareness Film screening Workshops for the academic community and the corporate world, Visual Arts Workshops for encouraging interaction between artists with and without disabilities. Host a Radio Show titled MUD MUD KE NA DEKH on All India Radio, Create short awareness films and try and impress upon channels to air them as Public Service message, publish and distribute disability awareness simple pictorial booklets, liaison with the corporate world for exploring opportunities of employment for persons with different abilities and regularly collaborate with likeminded organizations.  We believe that “Disability is not the problem. The real problem is ATTITUDINAL barriers.”

What’s great is that we also enjoy the support of a huge gamut of painters, fashion designers, litterateurs, teachers, musicians, dancers, and theatre and film personalities, journalists who lend their creative edge to TRINAYANI in propagating a change, breaking prejudices and lending new mobility to persons with disabilities.

We explore ways and means of allowing "listening" to happen. We urge people to listen for connections, for commonalities, and while doing so, to suspend assumptions.

Our aim is to communicate APPROPRIATE INFORMATION on disability issues, to portray messages which convey the fact that Diversity is Good, Diversity is Needed and Diversity adds Value to our lives.

2. THIS-ABILITY WEEKLY ARTICLES IN NAVHIND TIMES GOA

We all have a single story of disability in our minds which is what leads to prejudices and stereotypes and we all need to be saved from having a single story of what persons with disabilities are.

The consequence of a single story is that it robs people of their dignity and it makes the recognition of our equal humanity difficult and it also emphasizes how we are different than how we are similar.

Our recent Trinayani initiative thus is a weekly articles (every Sunday) titled This-Ability in the Panorama Magazine of Navhind Times Goa, which echoes explores the intriguing lives of persons with disabilities beautifully written primarily by Malay Desai, with guest writers too , however always, overseen by me. Through these articles we try to weave many stories about persons with disabilities.

Sparsh Foot Spa at Mantri Park Mumbai: A Trinayani Initiative

General apprehensions concerning blind people:

How do they go to work everyday?
How do they function and deliver at the work place?
Do I need to be a “heartless” manager to put a blind person to task?

How often do we wonder when we see blind persons going about they work, as to how they manage to do all the things in their lives? We are amazed and awestruck when we see them moving around in a world full of pandemonium. Supposing we were blindfolded and were asked only to move around in our own homes I am sure most of us won’t be able to manage.

But the fact of the matter is that with proper training and opportunity, persons who are blind can do their jobs in the average place of business and do it as well as their sighted neighbours.

Considering the fact that the sense of touch is the most supportive one for a blind person it is most logical that they get trained in areas which does not require the sense of sight.

In keeping with the work- focus of our Organization to support and highlight the issues facing persons with disabilities, and to aid and encourage individuals with disabilities in making their mark and function as a part of mainstream society, Trinayani has inducted 5 blind persons (one boy and five girls) who are professionally trained in the arena of Reflexology. The therapists have acquired training in Acupressure and Massage therapy under the supervision of National Association for the Blind, Mumbai. They are adept in stress relieving and rejuvenating massage therapies (foot, neck- shoulder, head and back). They operate from the SPARSH Foot Spa located at Mantri Park Goregaon East, Mumbai was launched on 3rd September 2011.

This Mantri Park Space has been generously donated to Trinayani for a year by Mr and Mrs Sunil Mantri of Sunil Mantri Realty Ltd as part of their Corporate Social Responsibility Initiative. We at Trinayani are grateful to them and all our friends and well wishers specially Rachna Raj Sethi,Anju Tikekar, Shalini Dewan , Sonaa and Shobha Sachdev for all their support and advice.

Seeing is believing and as a trust working on creating awareness on disabilities we hope that this initiative will help alter perceptions and attitudes towards people with visual impairment.

Here is to Celebrating Diversities.
