Celebrating our Journey

Divya Disha completes 22 years of its journey, on 27 May, 2009. We celebrate the fact that it has been a long journey, for so much has happened, and there have been so many changes, as an organisation we look back with gratitude for what has been, for all the people who have accompanied us in this journey, which has been a meaningful experience for each of us.

Today I am happy and thankful that I have been apart of this organisation, and have grown as a person, I have wonderful memories in this organisation, I had found very good friends here, and I still recall how we came together as friends, sharing our own problems and solving them, understanding ourselves and searching for meaning in life. Thus realising the fact that meaning comes only when we reach out to others, thus began our journey 21 years ago, when I look back, there is so much to be thankful for.

We have been responding to every situation that challenged us to move from one area of work to another beginning with child rights, street children, Institutions, HIV AIDS, Migrant children, Victims of Domestic Violence and thus expanding ourselves in other districts of AP.

We have been constantly changing, and redefining ourselves in responding to the need of the hour, and while doing so we also have been affirmed, apprecited by a lot of friends, well wishers and our families. We would not have been able to accomplish without the support of you my friends, and so I take this opportunity on behalf of Divya Disha to thank all our families, friends, partners, colloborators, donors, volunteers for the supporting us, accompanying us in our journey and for believing and trusting in us.

We look forward to your continual support and guidance.
