Significance of Chennai Olympics ?
Chennai Olympics aims to empower children with special needs through Sports
Sport and games give the opportunity and the necessary space to children with disabilities to find new ways of dealing with the challenges of daily life. In safe surroundings, mistakes do not carry any serious consequences. All innovative initiatives are appreciated and nobody needs to be afraid of sanctions. The trainers encourage learning from all experiences. Children’s self-esteem increases and they get more and more self-confident as they learn how to prepare a game, to adapt the rules to specific needs if necessary, to organise the team and to take over an individual role. During the game they concentrate on a specific goal, sense the team spirit and experience competition as a challenge and not as a threat.With growing self-esteem and self-confidence children with disabilities feel encouraged to try and find an active place in society.
Around 1000 children from various Institutions are participating in the Sports meet this time.These children will display their extraordinary determination and ability in Athletics and various team games.
We are enclosing the details about the events and the schedule. The total expenses for this meet is expected to be around Rs, 3, 00,000. Any good work towards a cause needs support. Support – moral as well as monetary. This mega project too needs support towards various expenses.
We are enclosing the estimated expenses for this event. We look forward to your support as a sponsor towards the expenses. You may sponsor the whole event or co-sponsor the event. We appreciate your good response in advance and, with your support, commit ourselves to continuing our services
Patronage of and association of eminent corporates with events like this serve greatly to bring attention to conditions of certain sections of society which tend to get generally ignored.
