The Chrysallis Power of One - Know Your Special Friend
The first leg of the Journey

God Does Mighty Miracles
– He brings us together and makes the impossible – possible!

What does it mean to set out on a journey of different cities for the first time without ever having been there?

What does it mean to have a group of people whom you have never met before - who have worked hard and long for you to create a powerful and life changing event?

It means that each one of us has the power to motivate and inspire and do things which seem nearly impossible.

9 cities - Bangalore, Pondicherry, Chennai, Bhubaneswar, Hyderabad, Delhi, Chandigarh, Kolkata and Guwahati - South, North, Central and East India - a wonderful medley of children's voices from each city illustrating on posters the meaning of 'Integration' and 'Special Friendship"

1500 children with and without challenges - working together with joy - taking back with them the knowledge that they belong to the same world and to each other

100s of Volunteers - undergoing a life changing experience with the commitment to work longer and harder to make inclusive education a reality.

“This is the first time I am meeting a woman coming alone – to a new city – and, conducting such a well organized programme with so much meaning”- Special Educator, Guwahati

The ‘Power of One’ is a reality,

To all of you who were with us in mind, body and spirit - thank you for your participation, thank you for caring, thank you for praying.

Our journey continues with the nationwide Chrysallis Power of One Exhibitions and the Chrysallis Volunteer Bike Ride.

On March 3, 2007 I stepped out in Faith - I thank God for the many blessings He has brought to every programme.

Remember us in your prayers as we set out again on a more daunting task.
