Vishalwin Foundation 3rd Year in a RowAhmedabad -VISHALWIN FOUNDATION awarded over 60 special needs sector contributors in a ceremony, GUARDIAN ANGEL AWARDS 2023 at Lemon Tree Premiere Hotel. This is the 3rd Edition of the awards. This sector cannot sustain without the efforts of Special Educators, Counsellors, Caretakers, Therapists, Doctors, Progressive parents, Social workers, Startup and Innovation entities, Early Intervention Centers, Unsung Heroes, and Inclusive Schools working in this area. Vishalwin Foundation felt that it is very important to recognize the efforts of these angels who make a big difference in the lives of these children, young adults, and adults.

VISHALWIN also announced a scholarship for parents of children with special needs, Parents were enrolled in Diploma Special Education in Intellectual Development Disability (DSEID) from the Composite Regional Centre (CRC, A unit of the Department of Social Justice, Government of India). In addition, VISHALWIN has also signed an MoU with CRC for enrolling children with special needs at their Early Intervention Centre at Odhav and support under carpet area, no gender bias, below the poverty line and economically weaker section. VISHALWIN surveys slums and similar areas and identifies these children and works towards their Medical, Education and Social Rehabilitation.

21st March was World Down Syndrome Day and to spread awareness about Down Syndrome VISHALWIN FOUNDATION today invited Children with Down Syndrome who gave a message of ‘INCLUSION’ to society. The foundation has been working with children from economically weaker sections having Down Syndrome and other intellectual disabilities, their early education and therapies are sponsored by the foundation and their identification happens through medical camps conducted across the year.

Over 100 plus NGOs from across Gujarat participated in this event like the Blind People Association, Prabhat Education Foundation, Samara Sikhsha Abhiyaan, Raahi Foundation, Jaipur Foot, B M Institute of Mental Health, SAATH Charitable Trust, DEIC Nadiad, Samvedana Learning center for Special children, Gujarat Spastic Society, Atul Foundation, Ashatha Charitable trust for welfare of the mental challenge, Amba Angel Parents Association for Special Children, SEWA and many more.

This event is the brainchild of Ms. Puunam G Kaushik, Managing Trustee of VISHALWIN FOUNDATION. She wants to appeal to a society that “Inclusion should not be propagated only by parents of Children with Special Needs, we must talk about it as a SOCIETY and work towards disability inclusion at home, communities, workplaces and at most in our hearts” Special Needs sector often gets unnoticed in the larger scheme of ‘Diversity and inclusion’, such programs highlight persons with special needs – which forms a considerable proportion of the population, creating awareness across the society. In the coming years, I hope and wish Vishalwin expands such an initiative and reaches the hard-to-reach cities across India.

The brand’s offerings will include graphic and backprint t-shirts, graphic hoodies, track pants, and cargo joggers, which give off a laid-back, in-vogue, and casual vibe. Streetwear, as a category in the fashion apparel segment, has prevailed since the 1980s. It is a style of comfortable casual clothing that draws inspiration from sub-culture communities such as skateboarding, surfing, and hip-hop, with its own blend of style and punk.

In line with Myntra’s recent brand campaign, ‘Extraordinary Every Day’, boohooMAN caters to various male shoppers across lifestyles, personalities, and fashion senses, with looks inspired by global trends like athleisure, plaids, wide-cut trousers, tonal layering, utility vests and jackets, clean shirts, neutral basics, and textured pieces, among others.

As a seasoned leader in global fashion, boohooMAN’s vision is to empower a social media-inspired, trend-first generation, to look and feel confident every day, across occasions.

According to an industry report, the streetwear segment is worth $185 billion in sales globally, and it is gaining steady traction in India as well, with the country capturing a sizable community experimenting with street styles and looks. While some category enthusiasts are devoted to the segment’s pioneering brands, the heritage and culture associated with street fashion, and the storytelling abilities of streetwear, others are drawn to street luxe inspired by streetwear, and still, others are enamored by the hype and trends that dominate social media. The category’s popularity is not limited to the metros; streetwear is also becoming popular in tier 2 and tier 3 cities. The men’s fashion industry has shifted focus from casual wear to streetwear, mirroring the women’s wear trend and driving demand for the category.

The discussion further emphasized that being comfortable in one’s own skin can encourage young minds to celebrate their individuality and challenge societal norms and conventions in the long run.

By embracing our own individuality and practicing self-love, we can show our children that it’s okay to be different and encourage them to do the same.”

Speaking on the role of schools and educators in helping kids embrace their unique qualities, Dr. Swati Popat Vats, “I am thrilled to be part of the #OneOfAKind panel that recognizes the importance of celebrating individuality in children. Every child is unique and deserves to be celebrated for who they are. It is the role of schools and teachers to foster a culture of individuality and self-love, empowering children to embrace their strengths and differences, and paving the way for a brighter, more inclusive future. By working together as educators, we can create a supportive environment where students feel valued, respected, and empowered to pursue their dreams.”

Dr. Bharti Rakheja felt that every child deserves to know their worth and celebrate their uniqueness. “Being a self-love coach, I have witnessed first-hand the transformative power of self-love in people’s lives. By teaching kids to love them unconditionally, we can inspire a generation of confident, resilient individuals who are equipped to navigate life’s challenges with grace and authenticity. It’s wonderful to see a brand that not only entertains but also enriches the lives of its young viewers.” Rakheja concluded.

Commenting on the collaboration with Nickelodeon, Jayashri Bhake, Principal, Orchids The International Schools, Malad West said, “At our schools, we are committed to creating an inclusive and supportive learning environment where every student feels valued and respected. It is great to see Nickelodeon taking a proactive approach in engaging with kids and establishing a warm connection with them beyond entertainment and setting an example for other organizations to follow. We are honoured to join hands with Nickelodeon to host this engaging discussion on being #OneOfAKind and contribute to this meaningful cause. We believe that this collaboration will bring positive change in our school community and beyond.”
