The Vijayaratnam Foundation has launched “A Gift of Love and Hope” campaign to raise funds to support Taarana, a school for children with Special Needs. 

The three-month campaign, which consists of an Indiegogo crowdfunding page and two events — A Night of Laughter and Music at the end of this month and a 5km Charity Run in May — aims to help children with special needs from low-income families so that they can attend the specialised programmes at Taarana School.
