I was employed with one of the regional learning center of sense international. All my experiences with sense came via my direct employers. What i could say about sense is this that I have always seen people working with sympathy, dedication, emotion and such other values when they are with some "NGO". But sense is a professional, result oriented and an ambitious organisation working sincerely for a cause. It is for sure a positive aspect.. Sense International could be more sensitive if they interact more with the people they are working for.

I first came to know about Sense International after watching a presentation from Mr. Akhil Paul at the national conference on mental retardation in Calcutta in 2004. I've also been lucky to have a classmate in my undergraduate program at NIMH, Mr. Uttam Kumar, who has been on board with Sense International since 2004, as well as Mr. Bikash Das, my senior (and mentor) at NIMH. I'm happy that these highly skilled and dedicated rehabilitation practitioners have been with SI, and speaks a lot about its talented and resourceful workforce. I appreciate the work that SI does to partner with, and enable organizations and personell working with deafblind populations. Deafblindness is an important, but less emphasised disability about which more awareness needs to be spread over the coming years. I'm glad that SI is working towards that goal and wish it the best. In course of my higher education in Early Intervention at the University of Texas and consequent work experience with EasterSeals (Texas) and the Washington DC public school system, I've continued to review research in the area of Deafblindness and Multiple Disabilities. The generation of quality single subject research designs in this area is not as common as other areas, and I anticipate this to be a key area for SI and partner organizations to investigate. I'd also like to share that I have been in contact with faculty at the Univ of Utah, Salt Lake City who are involved in longitudinal studies in the DB area. I hope that research in deafblindness will be seen more in the years to come. With best wishes-- Victor Mukhopadhyay (M.S) Intensive Resourse Specialist (Special Education), Washington DC

I have known of Sense International for the last 5 years. I participated in a conference they held, and then evaluated one of their internationally funded projects, which gave me the opportunity to visit their project sites across the country. the organisation is a very professionally run one, with an amazingly committed team in place, who work tirelessly for the cause of deaf blind people in India.

Sense International (India) is one of the great NGO success stories anywhere in the world. It embraces sound development pronciples (empowerment, local ownership, involvement of key stakeholders, desire to keep improving) and ensures that all decisions are made in the best interests of deafblind people in India. There have been enormous successes in the first 10 years of Sense International (India) - many more services for deafblind people, legislation at a national and state level, networks, representative bodies, accredited training programmes and much more. If all NGOs in the world could model themselves on Sense International (India), there would be a lot less poverty and disadvantage and the world would be a lot better place.
