Handing Over Day

This beautiful, moving, electrifying moment: The entire staff of Latika — 150 strong — standing on our newly-constructed ramp surrounding our newly-constructed stage.

It is Handing Over Day at last and we are cheering and crying and assuring one another in turns that this is not a dream, it is actually happening, our building is complete and we are about to move in.

All children deserve a building like this one. For once, it’s disabled children, that too in Dehradun, who are the lucky ones.

We couldn’t have done what we did without Cushman & Wakefield. So many of the C&W team became like family to us. We are so grateful to Matthew, Anshul, ASHISH, Arpita, Gautam, Shikha, Awantika, Aditi, Mayur, Zainab . . . the list is endless. Thank you so much to each and every one of you.
