KARACHI, Sept 16: Over a hundred handicapped children enjoyed music and other fun activities for a couple of hours at a function held at an elite seaside restaurant on Monday, says a press release.

The function was organized by artist and social worker Jimmy Engineer under his Fun and Food for Handicapped Children Project through which he has been taking handicapped children to various city hotels and restaurants regularly for over one and a half years now.

Mr Engineer said he used to feel sorry when he saw that handicapped children did not have any opportunity to go out and have fun like normal children so he thought of organizing such programmes so that special children could also have fun as their normal counterparts have as a matter of routine.

He said it was unfortunate that many parents of handicapped children usually hid their special children from the neighbours etc as they felt embarrassed. He said with proper training they could also perform like normal children.
