In an effort to champion cultural inclusion and social responsibility, Sparsham MACE is hosting "Jaalakam," a cultural fest designed specifically for specially abled students.
The event serves as a creative stage for students from the Santhwanam Special School in Kothamangalam, the Buds Special School in Pallarimangalam, and the Mar Athanasius Rehabilitation Centre and Special School in Perumbavoor. Organisers intend for the fest to provide these participants with a dynamic environment to exhibit their artistic skills and ingenuity.
The initiative is being conducted with the support of CoFee, a national fintech platform specialising in institutional fee collection, alongside financial backing from the Alumni Fund. According to organisers, this collective sponsorship is vital to the program's execution and underscores a joint dedication to socially conscious and inclusive projects.
The festival’s itinerary includes diverse cultural displays, such as musical acts, dance routines, and various other artistic performances by the students. The assembly will be addressed by Principal Dr Bos Mathew Jos and Secretary Dr Winny Varghese.
Representatives for the event expressed their aspiration that the festival will act as a significant "window of opportunity" for the participants, honouring their unique talents while promoting a culture of solidarity and artistic recognition.
