Rock-climbing and rafting by the visually challenged? Can’t quite visualize them doing it. I suppose, given the right motivation anything is possible. But how do you, Mr Solanki, persuade parents and school managements, to let their wards take on the challenge? A brief account of this success story, by way of a case study, could help motivate parents who may be reluctant even to send their children to an out-of-town summer camp, let alone allowing them to go rafting. And, your adventure kids could visit other schools to talk to a whole lot of students waiting to be motivated. Maybe you are doing this already.
