A GROUP of parents has pooled money to build homes on a three-acre plot, fittingly named 'Paradise', for their children with special needs at the Meerod hill station in Keezhariyur. The land was also purchased by the group to build a community that will care for the kids.

The Parents' Association for the Rehabilitation and Assistance for Differently Abled Individuals to Support and Empower (Paradise) project has been set up by a trust comprising the parents.

"The project is becoming a reality, because of a question that looms over our heads whenever we think of our children: After us, what?" said Prof K Koyatty, chairman of the trust.
