Freedom Carnival


Freedom Carnival is an ad hoc celebration organized by Ooruni Foundation under the “Give Their World” Project as an annual event for kids with learning disabilities and developmental disabilities, including Autism Spectrum Disorder, Down syndrome, Asperger syndrome, and Cerebral Palsy.

The importance of the event is to make the special kids explore their possibilities in a fun-filled environment, where infrastructure as per their needs is provided in the form of games to play, moves to express, and the freedom to be themselves.

It is high time to create an understanding of their deficiency issues and mobilize support for the dignity, rights, and well-being of persons with these deficiencies. It also seeks to increase awareness of the benefits of integrating persons with special abilities and special needs in every aspect of social, economic, and cultural life. This annual event is always celebrated on India’s Independence Day, on 15th August every year since 2017, for special kids by providing them and their parents with a vibrant experience. It is an endeavor to bring a new perspective to society to accept, support, and strengthen those blessed gifts of the Almighty.
