The Association for People with Disability (APD) is a non-profit organisation based out of Bangalore. The charity have worked extensively over the last 58 years to reach out and rehabilitate people with disability from the under privileged segment.

In India, those who have a disability are often disregarded by others and many are disowned by their family. APD India's aim is to create an inclusive society, where people with disabilities are accepted into the mainstream economy and social life. The charity locate those with disabilities to provide them with an education and training courses in life skills in order to help them to find a job and live a normal, more independent life.

My school, St.Mungo's High School, Falkirk, are connected with this charity and every year a small group of very lucky pupils are chosen to fly to India to volunteer and assist those APD India have taken in and I have been lucky enough to have been picked.

The money raised will go towards my travel expenses and accommodation in India but I will be raising the rest of it through volunteering and sponsored events.
