From the first ever Tamil short film made by a visually impaired person to introduction of Chennai’s disabled cricket team- Lagaan, the annual Rendevous event of well-known disability group The Headway Foundation promises to be an exciting affair with cultural activities as well.

Based in Chennai, The Headway Foundation is committed to building awareness about the challenges and issues faced by people with disabilities. At the same time, it seeks to celebrate their abilities by showcasing their achievements.

For me Rendezvous is the celebration of inclusion and an opportunity to create awareness about the abilities of people with disabilities. My aim is to make sure that people with disabilities are made part of the mainstream and barriers are broken. Together we can change the mindsets of the society and accept differences.” – K Raghavi Senthilkumar, Founder, The Headway Foundation.

The event will see the participation of around 2,000 people with and without disabilities.
