Yes true. As I had written yesterday, it was an amazing experience for our girls and my team to receive the hospitality of Air India and their care to give the girls a life time experience. As many girls were heard saying... `it was our dream to have flown in an aeroplane atleast once to feel how you go up in the air...?' I hope many more of our visually challenged children many more pleasures of life...Amen!!
