Dine n Deed- SNF Gala Dinner with Sunidhi Chauhan

Life is far from being fair. It’s ridden with risks at every step. We never can take things for granted. Even the most natural event of having a child can jolt life in unimaginable for some. That was what Safia Bari the Director of SNF faced when her second child was diagnosed as a special needs child. While staring at the  enormity of the situation some of us break, some of us deal with it and get on with life - only a few take it as an opportunity to not just sort out their individual challenges but also those of the community at large. Thus SNF Development Center, located in Karama was born as a sanctuary for children and young adults with special needs.
The Center aspires to provide holistic development and learning so that these children and young adults become self-reliant and contributing members of the community. Integrating them into the main stream is not without its challenges, but SNF has achieved many milestones.

 Apart from support from the Special needs individuals’ family and expert staff, the center also has a special Gym, Vocational Unit, Art and Craft Unit, Daily Skills Development Unit etc.
SNF has been raising funds by selling the paintings and craft items made by the students at the annual SNF Fun Bazaar. SNF has been getting steady support from organizations and individuals. In 2007,  Bollywood singer Sonu Nigam inaugurated the centre graciously and was the guest of honor at SNF’s first fundraising dinner. In 2013 & 2014, the Deed n Dine event, where Art Auction of painting by the SNF students and many renounced artist from UAE, India & Pakistan followed by a Gala Dinner were enormously successful events.
