Little Blind People
is the website set up by Guru Nanak Blind Missionary Society,
UK registered charity No. 287041.
Guru
Nanak Blind Missionary Society was founded in
1988 by four blind friends, Avtar Singh Mann, Gian Singh Surjit, Rajinder Singh
and Sital Singh Sitara, who had a dream to set up, in Punjab, India, a residential
music academy and training school for blind children.
The
dream quickly became a reality and the
school
for the blind (Guru Nanak Mission Neterheen Birdh Ashram and Sangeet
Academy - the
Ashram)
started teaching its first students in 1989.
Today,
the Ashram goes from strength to strength due to the hard work of all the wonderful
people involved.
Sadly, two of our founders are
no longer with us. Rajinder
Singh passed away in 2003, and Gian
Singh Surjit recently passed away on 20th October 2006. All the
founders have worked tirelessly raising funds around the world to
provide a source of financial, educational, and emotional support
to our blind children - to ensure that they grow up to be confident,
intelligent, self-respecting and talented musicians.
The charities trustees are:
Avtar singh Maan, Ranbir Singh
Rai, M S Vilkhoo, Anup Singh, Ravinder
Singh Khera, Amrik Singh and Sundeep Kaur Sitara
The
charities accountant is Jatinder Singh Gulhati.
Guru
Nanak Blind Missionary Society is supported and funded
by generous
sponsors,
donors,
volunteers, individuals and organisations involved in our
sponsor
a child programme
and by funds raised at regular
fundraising
events.
We are lucky
to have a small army of wonderful people who work tirelessly to help the charity
achieve its aims. Needless to say, we would welcome you with open arms if you
would like to
become
a volunteer. |
