Many years ago....a young 8th grader...gazed outside his school window..watching a peanut seller trying very hard to save his mentally challenged child from the ongoing traffic...He looked helpless and frustrated ! This young boy..was DISTRACTED ....felt very RESTLESS ....and then...... experienced that HIGHER POWER ...CALLING him. That "calling" ....was Mano Vikas ...a center for special needs children and that young boy is..ALOK BHUWAN .. In yr 2000 ..Mano Vikas was a hole in the wall ..in a dingy basement .......behind in 6 months rent payment! Alok ,surprisingly looked very calm and confident...... that HELP was on its way.... HELP came in the form of HOME OF HOPE ..and today Mano VIkas .......
