SHED is a Training & Rehabilitation Centre for Differently Abled Children founded by Lanu  Aimol. Lanu is originally from Imphal, Manipur. He grew up in humble beginnings, but throughout he had great dreams, - a dream not for himself, but for the betterment of the children. He started SHED in 2008, with a bank loan, with the aim of providing a rehabilitation centre for the disabled children. Today, this institution of love and light has immensely brightened the lives of dozens of less fortunate children.

Assam Foundation of North America ( AFNA ) is blessed  to be associated with SHED. AFNA is supporting the educational cost of a number of children at SHED through the  Support a Child initiative. One of the beneficiaries of this program is a young girl named Bimola Sinha. Bimola is sight-disabled. She is practicing music including semi-classical bhajan, a ghazal, and lovely Assamese songs. She recently  received the gold medal in a national competition for disabled children in Chennai.

Lanu is running this centre primarily with his  own salary and from a rented accommodation. Running a disabled centre in a rented house of residential area has created or encountered countless problem like payment of costly monthly house rent, frequently getting complaints from the neighbor and house owner about the disabled children.

In order to address these problem permanently SHED need a permanent place, spacious rooms and building for disabled children. These children need holistic therapy, rehabilitation services and development and peaceful environment. SHED is considering a permanent building at a plot of land in a countryside of Guwahati. We request your support and appeal for your generous donation through Assam Foundation of North America.
