Inclusive Holi will have children and adults of all abilities, celebrate the festival of color.
Inclusive Holi is free and open for all abilities.
The celebration will happen at Agarwal Vidyalaya, E.V.K. Sampath Road, Near Dhinathandi, Chennai – 01; which is accessible for wheelchairs too.
We encourage participation by persons with a disability. The person could have mobility challenge or a vision challenge or a verbal impairment or likes and we would be around to help out the connection with him or her to the rest of the people joining celebration.
We also encourage participation from persons who do not have a disability, but have an inclusive mind-set.
The aim of this festival celebration is, besides having joys, also to sensitize the need and explore ways to be inclusive as possible to people of all abilities; including those with a disability. We hope this celebration will help the persons of both sides of the wall “disability” to break the barriers.
What to bring –
- Drinking water
- An inclusive mind-set
- Come with “as much white as possible” clothes
Please do not bring any colors. SAANS Holi celebrations over past few years have followed a tradition of using only organic and dry colors; which will be provided as a part of celebration.
