Special kids get a royal treatment

GURGAON: Disabled children and children with special needs were given a royal dining experience and a vintage car drive in the city on Wednesday. Hosted by the restaurant, 21 Gun Salute, the extraordinary lunch put a smile on the faces of about 50 special children from the Delhi-NCR region.
Among the special invitees was Benzy, an autistic girl who had won the 2nd National Child Award from the Ministry of Women and Child.Her mother Kavita said: “April being the autism month, there couldn’t have been a more appropriate time for such an event. For children with special needs, these events prove to be especially motivating and beneficial. Society needs to become more aware and we need to find more such avenues. One should look beyond profit as such children make us aware of the good in us.”
Some children are abandoned while others live in a shelter or in the care of an NGO. Whatever these children were suffering from, Wednesday afternoon was a special day very different from their daily routine when they got to experience and enjoy.
Not many of us spare time to care and do something different for the not-so-privileged lot. This was a first-time experience for the children who got to enjoy exotic food and a vintage car ride.
