Meet Shilpa P., a young and talented artist from our GHS School, Srirampura!

At 17, she is redefining possibilities through her artistic brilliance, proving that her hearing impairment is no limit to her creativity. She began her artistic journey in 8th grade and has since developed an impressive portfolio that includes landscapes, Mandala art, traditional art forms, free-hand designs, self-portraits, and intricate line drawings.

Recently, Shilpa had the incredible opportunity to participate in a Chittara Art Workshop at the National Gallery of Modern Art, organized by the Ministry of Culture, Government of India. Her work stood out and earned her heartfelt appreciation from the organizers and art lovers alike. They were so impressed with her talent that they promised to provide her with further training to nurture her skills.

Shilpa lives with her proud parents, Nagarathnamma and Puttaraju, in Srirampuram, Bengaluru. Her story is a shining example of how art can empower, inspire, and break barriers.

Let’s cheer for Shilpa as she continues her beautiful journey in the world of art! 🎨✨

A School Readiness Center for children with disabilities was inaugurated today at the Malleshwaram Government School, Bengaluru. This important initiative is a joint collaboration between the Department of Education, The Association of People with Disability (APD), and Sama Foundation.

Celebrating Growth, Confidence & New Beginnings!

Today marked a proud moment for all of us at Sama Foundation and Manal Foundation as we came together to celebrate the successful completion of the SkillUp training program with a heartwarming certificate distribution ceremony.

With dignitaries from both organizations in attendance, the event was a celebration of not just certificates, but of transformation.

Our students—who began their journey with varying levels of computer skills—shared inspiring stories of how the classes have helped them:
- Gain job-ready skills
- Improve proficiency in tools like MS Office and Tally
- Build confidence and communication
- Take meaningful steps toward their career goals

From beginners to advanced learners, everyone leveled up, proving that learning never stops when you have the right support and guidance.

This ceremony isn’t just an end—it’s a stepping stone into a brighter future. We are so proud of each and every one of our SkillUp graduates and wish them continued success on their professional journeys.

Strengthening Urban Resilience: Reflections from Sama Foundation

Sama Foundation was honoured to participate in a Round Table on building resilience in the urban context, organised with the support of the Bengaluru Sustainability Forum (BSF).

Our representatives — Vinodini and two young leaders from DJ Halli — contributed actively, sharing experiences from the ground and highlighting the voices of communities often left out of urban conversations.

We are grateful to BSF for creating a space that was intentionally bilingual and inclusive, enabling broader participation and deeper dialogue.

Key takeaways included:
• Building on the strengths of communities to address urban challenges,
• Exploring new, community-driven interventions,
• Recognising the importance of continued collaboration and inclusive processes.

We look forward to building on the ideas that emerged and to contributing to future initiatives that promote resilience and empowerment across Bengaluru.

Thank you once again to the organisers, fellow participants, and community members who made the conversation so meaningful!
