Another sunny day in Sweden and after a nice breakfast we headed towards the places which were  scheduled for the day. Initially we visited a short lived home were mentally retarded and physically challenged children are kept by their parents for short intervals so they have some relief and utilize their times and activities which are otherwise not possible. the home has several facilities which try to make the child comfortable as possible by providing home like environment. next we visited a institute wherein disabled in the age range 23-65 years are employed so that they feel worthy of themselves. they are guided by the staff who work there. activities like glassware making, cards, locket, pendants making etc. are carried out. Swedish government and society put in utmost efforts to integrate the disabled in normal life, while working down the streets of Stockholm. then we left for Tullinge gymnasium for the most awaited India day. however, with nervous minds we managed to put up a fabulous show and fascinate the Swedes. We also served them the Goan sweets in the end of the program. Following the visit to the Tullinge gymnasium was a party which was organized by our Swedish mate. We had some delicious food and danced with them and finally returned back to Chapman exhausted.
In our entire stay in Sweden till now we noticed some unique facilities which we don't often notice in India. Every staircase has facility for wheel chair to move up and down on a lane for the wheels to glide on for children or elder people.
