The celebration created a warm and cheerful atmosphere for our students, staff, and teachers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we welcome the New Year, we reflect with gratitude on 2025, a year of transformation, growth, and renewed hope for our institution. We are proud to share a few key milestones achieved during the year:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. We successfully overcame a period of financial challenges and were able to conduct our annual celebration, reflecting resilience, unity, and confidence in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. On the occasion of World Disability Day, our students participated in state-level cultural competitions and proudly secured Second Place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. Through the Goal Empowerment for Special Children initiative, and after nearly 21 years of dedicated effort, our students achieved a historic milestone by gaining employment at NOVOTEL Hotel, boosting their confidence and independence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4. Our School Principal was invited as Guest of Honour at the Rotary Club\u2019s installation ceremony, and our organization received national recognition with an All India NGO Award, along with a cash prize of Rs.50,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5. Our Second Line Leader and School Incharger, Mrs. Asiya Benazir, gave an interview with renowned debate speaker Kavitha Jawahar on the Kalyana Maalai program and also delivered a special talk on Inclusion at RJ Mantra School, thereby increasing social awareness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>6. We proudly secured First Prize in the Final Assessment of the Dhwani Foundation Capacity Building Program, recognizing our institution\u2019s commitment to quality improvement and effective organizational development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>7. To develop future leadership, we have joined the \u201cKey to Tomorrow\u201d program by Ketto Foundation and are undergoing capacity-building programs to strengthen our mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>8. During the Joy of Giving Week, celebrated from October 2 to October 8, we received a total contribution of Rs.1,56,427 from 72 donors. This initiative significantly helped us strengthen local funding support and effectively utilize local resources, reinforcing community participation and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>9. Like a regular school, we also enhance the leadership skills of our students with the support of the Rotary Club by inaugurating the Interact Club of Ritham Leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>10. We are proud to partner with Dasara Rebuild India with the aim of creating meaningful and positive change in the lives of our beneficiaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We express our heartfelt thanks to all our donors who supported us throughout 2025. Your generosity has transformed lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We look forward to your continued support in 2026 as we work together to achieve many more milestones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wishing &nbsp;everyone a Happy New Year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>#2025 #YearOfGrowth #YearOfChange #Milestones #Gratitude #DonorSupport #Inclusion<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>#Empowerment #TogetherWeGrow #HappyNewYear #RithamSpecialSchool
