Saranalayam Special School For Mentally Retarded

Saranalayam Special School For Mentally Retarded is located on Melapatti Road in Kadamalaikundu, Theni. Our address is 625579 if you are looking for it. This is a small school where we work with children and adults who have different learning needs. It is not a very big building, just a few rooms where we can sit and do activities. We spend our days doing simple things like teaching how to eat, wash, and interact with others. It takes a lot of patience and the staff here are mostly local people who have been with us for a long time. We don't have fancy equipment, but we have some mats, basic toys, and some charts on the walls. The road outside can get a bit dusty, but it’s a quiet enough area for the students. We have a small kitchen where we prepare some snacks. Most of our day is spent following a very slow and steady routine because that works best for the people who come here. We don't have a big budget for extras, so we make do with what we have. Families from the surrounding villages bring their children here, and we just try to help them manage a bit better. It’s a hard job sometimes, but we just keep coming in and doing what we can for the kids in Kadamalaikundu.
