"WE are different but not less." This is the motto of the Centre for Early Intervention Rehabilitation and Research (CEIRR), Perumbavoor, which works with persons with disabilities (PwDs). And through its actions, the institute is showing it means what it says.

This Christmas-New Year season, 17 students, enrolled in the centre's Ability Zone project, are competing with big players in the baking, confectionery and handmade gifts sector.

"And they have made it big too," says Dr Mary Anitha, the project director. According to her, the innovative products by the students have registered good sales. "Different types of candles shaped like Christmas trees, Santa Claus, reindeer, poinsettias, angels and green and red baubles were made in large quantities by the students for the Christmas sale," she said.
