I am very impressed with the work done at the Bodh school. You are working in the right direction in helping the slow learners to go to the place that they ought to. The children have done some outstanding work and they need to be complemented. I would have liked to spend more time, but unfortunately have limited time. However I would like to wish every one everything of the best and may the Almighty help you in your endeavours. Thanks to the organization for having allowed me to be here. I am really greatful to them. Congratulation to all the educators. I am proud of you. Thank you once again. These are Greetings from South Africa. May God Bless.

Dept. of Psychiatry, V AustraliaFirst time I have visited this type of school and the way this children were given much care and slowly making them to feel that they can live on their own, and getting out positive skills out of them is really fantastic. I feel such schools have to be encouraged by central and state Governments and also by Public not only financially but also visiting repeatedly and encouraging the organizers and teachers.

Principal Secratary, Revenue, Govt. of Andhra PradeshI am very happy to visit Sahaj Seva Samsthan today after interacting with Principal, teachers, students and other staff members, I feel there is a need to give greater attention to this section of children of society. With their limited resources this Samsthan is doing wonderful service. This is the responsibility of parents and scoiety to bring these kind of children to normal level. I am veryhappy that this organisation has taken up this difficult task in their hands. I would like to help them in best possible way. With Good wishes.
