A Saturday morning trekking and rappelling event for amputee participants.

We gathered at Vikhe Patil school Gate 4 at 7 AM and got the participants to fill out the consent forms and briefed them about the event. We paired them up with able bodied allies and they all proceeded to climb Vetal Tekdi from the Vikhe Patil side. The amputees all found it quite easy and enjoyable and chatted along with their allies along the way. It took them 1 hour to reach the other side of the hill, at the base of Panchvati. The rappel had already been set up by then. They all enjoyed trying out rappeling and ate a breakfast of Poha, Vada Pav and Tea. After everyone had tried rappeling we all sat and did a group sharing led by Divyanshu, after which we took a group photo and dispersed.
