 A Day Tour For Visually Disabled Children By Moksha Stories

In a heartfelt and passionate endeavor to embrace the needs of differently-abled travelers, Moksha Stories embarked on a truly enchanting and soul-stirring project called ‘Mokshanubhava.’ Our unwavering mission was crystal clear right from the beginning: to make travel accessible and magical for disabled people, just like it is for everyone else.

With a fire of determination burning within us, we joined hands with the Kerala Blind Foundation in the month of February 2021, transforming dreams into reality. Together, we weaved a beautiful tapestry of joy and inclusion, orchestrating a magical day tour of Palakkad that would forever hold a special place in the hearts of 13 extraordinary children and their families. These precious souls, like the rest of the world, had been confined to their homes during the challenging times of the Covid pandemic.

Every single moment of this extraordinary journey was like a symphony of emotions, crafted with the utmost sensitivity and care. We delved deep into the very heart of their experiences, understanding the power of touch, sound, taste, and scent to create a truly immersive and soulful experience. Through the arts and the hands of skilled artisans, we gifted these eager children with memories that would forever be etched in their souls.

Mokshanubhava was more than just a project; it was a journey of human connection, of empathy, and of spreading happiness far and wide. We experienced the profound impact of creating a world where every soul felt seen, heard, and valued.
