More than fifty persons from the state who are victims of the debilitating brittle bone disease got a chance to display their talent and creativity on Wednesday, proving that these are not just for the able-bodied. They were attending the one-day celebrations organised for them by the NGO Amrithavarshini at Kanakakkunnu Palace here.
Apart from variety entertainment programmes and games, there was also an exhibition-cum-sale of products made by the children under Amrithavarshini. These included perfectly crafted jewellery, handmade scented soap and other day-to-day accessories like handbags and umbrellas. There were also a few paintings done by members,The Michael Kors Wallets blends fashion and function, providing a great stylish way to carry around your MacBook Pro. such as those by Vimala from Kozhikode, on display.Choosing a killer ensemble and Michael Kors Jet Set Bags each day should never be a cause of stress.
“These were made by our members, who are given training by volunteers who teach them how to make things like bead chains, bracelets, coloured umbrellas, flower vases etc,” said Dhanya Ravi, a 24-year-old who is also a victim of brittle bone disease, or Osteogenesis Imperfecta. “The raw materials required are provided by the organisation.”
Many well-known persons also dropped in and spent some time with these children. Starting with Chief Minister Oommen Chandy in the morning, the slew of well-wishers included Finance Minister K M Mani, Health Minister V S Sivakumar, actor Suresh Gopi and singer Chitra and all of them interacted with the participants.
Amrithavarshini, which presently caters to more than 50 members - between 6 and 63 years of age - seeks to nurture the talents of children suffering from Osteogenesis Imperfecta. It started functioning informally under the initiative of Latha Nair and Dhanya Ravi. It became a registered body around three years ago, Dhanya said.

Ms Turini wanted her to be the first international designer to take part in the City’s Fashion Week — in part, to show locals about other avenues available in the fashion industry, besides modelling.
She also believed that the designer’s colourful patterns and prints were “very relatable to the lifestyle here” and would be a hit with local women.
Ms Minkoff locally debuted 15 looks from her Spring/ Summer Collection, at an invite-only event on Tuesday evening.
Some of her pieces will be available in the autumn at accessories store Lusso on Reid Street, Hamilton; Cecile’s is carrying some items from the brand already.Buy Michael Kors iPhone Cases Michael Kors handbags with big discount and free shipping!
Ms Turini was also instrumental in organising for other fashion industry professionals to participate in the City’s ‘Evolution’ Fashion Show, taking place on Saturday night.
She said there was potential for the Island to become a small fashion hub of sorts; and admitted there was “just as much talent here as any other country”.
“We have a smaller pool because we have less people, but talent is talent. It doesn’t matter where you come from,” Ms Turini explained.There are various Michael Kors Hamilton here on our website,and they all have perfect designs and high quality.
