✨ This is Asmi , our bright, 16-year-old bundle of creativity at CCID.
She has Down syndrome, but that’s only one small part of who she is.
What truly stands out is her spirit full of colour, rhythm, and endless curiosity. 💛

Asmi shines the moment she picks up a paintbrush.
Her artwork feels like a little window into the way she sees the world , full of warmth, imagination, and heart. 🎨✨

And when the music starts?
She doesn’t just dance, she becomes the music.
Fast songs, slow songs, old songs, new songs , she can move to anything with confidence and joy. 🕺💫

But that’s not all.
Asmi loves writing, tries her best in every class, and is just as excited about sports as she is about art.
She plays with determination, laughs easily, and makes everyone around her feel comfortable and included. 🌼

Having Asmi with us at CCID is a gift.
She reminds us that talent comes in many forms and hers is sprinkled everywhere: in her art, her dance, her words, and her big, beautiful heart. 💛

@✨ 34th International Day of Persons with Disabilities ✨

Today felt special at CCID. Our children came in with their brightest smiles, ready to enjoy the day in their own beautiful ways. Some jumped right into the games, laughing and cheering each other on. Others sat for drawing class, quietly turning their thoughts into colours and shapes. 🎨💛

Watching them enjoy, try, learn, and support one another reminded us how much strength and joy they carry within themselves every single day. Their happiness filled the whole centre.

We are deeply grateful to the volunteers from Lions International Club who stood beside us, guided the activities, and gave their time with so much love and patience. Your presence made the day smoother, warmer, and truly complete. 🦁❤️

At CCID, every child is celebrated , not just today, but always.
Here’s to more days filled with acceptance, courage, and the simple joy of being together.

✨ This is Umesh, a 19-year-old boy who fills CCID with so much joy.
He has Down syndrome, but honestly, that’s not what we notice first.
The first thing anyone sees is his smile and the way he brings life into every room he walks into. 💛

Umesh dances like the music is a part of him, draws with a kind of focus that makes you stop and admire, and plays with a heart that’s full of kindness. 🎨🕺

What makes him special isn’t just his talent , it’s the way he makes people feel.
Warm. Seen. Happy. 🌼

We’re lucky to have Umesh with us at CCID.
He reminds us every day that everyone has their own beautiful way of expressing themselves , and his is simply magical. ✨

✨ A little escape from CCID to Budhanilkantha & ISKCON ✨
Today felt like the perfect reset. Leaving CCID for a bit and visiting Budhanilkantha brought a quiet kind of peace,just sitting in front of the Sleeping Vishnu, watching people pray, and feeling the calm settle in.

Then walking into ISKCON added a whole different energy. The music, the smiles, the warmth,it felt vibrant and comforting at the same time.

It’s amazing how a short trip can relax your mind and lift your heart. Came back with lighter thoughts and a happier version of me. 💛✨

✨ Miss Sophie ,thank you for the beautiful moments ✨
Miss Sophie may have spent only a short time with us at CCID, but she filled those days with so much calm, kindness, and positive energy. Her gentle touch as an acupuncture therapist and her warm personality made everyone feel a little lighter and a little more cared for.

We’re truly grateful for the time we shared with her. Wishing her all the love and success as she continues her healing journey. 💛🌿

As the golden sun sets, devotees gather by the riverside, offering prayers to Lord Surya and Chhathi Maiya with faith, gratitude, and love. 🌅✨
This festival reminds us of the beauty of devotion, nature, and togetherness ,a time to thank the Sun for warmth, light, and life itself. 🌾💧

May this Chhath bring peace, prosperity, and endless smiles to every home. 🌸💫

✨ Bhai Tika 2082 ✨
Some bonds don’t need promises ,they just stay, no matter what. ❤️

Today, as sisters put tika and mala on their brothers’ foreheads, it’s more than just a ritual. It’s a silent prayer for their safety, a small thank-you for all those times they cared without saying much. And for brothers, it’s a reminder to always be that safe place for their sisters , through every high and low. 🌼

Bhai Tika is love in its simplest form , a mix of laughter, teasing, memories, and those unspoken words that say, “I’ve got you.” 💛

🌿✨ A Day to Remember! ✨🌿

What a beautiful day it turned out to be! 🥰 Our amazing CCID family set out on a small hiking adventure from Lagankhel to Mangalbazar, Patan Durbar Square, Banglamukhi, and all the way to Baneshwor ,and it was nothing short of magical. 🌞

With every step, there were smiles, laughter, and pure joy. Some danced to the beat of their own happiness, some chatted with friends, and some simply enjoyed the sunshine touching their faces. 🌸 Every corner of Patan felt alive with their energy ,bright, fearless, and full of life. 💛

This wasn’t just a hike; it was a journey of hearts , a reminder that happiness isn’t about reaching somewhere, it’s about being together, feeling free, and celebrating every little moment. 🌈

Our friends showed us once again that strength isn’t about speed or distance ,it’s about courage, love, and the joy of being yourself. ❤️

✈️💙 Today, our CCID family is feeling a mix of pride and emotion as we say see you soon to Saurabh Shrestha , one of our dearest former students.

Saurabh, born with Down syndrome, has always been a bundle of energy and joy. His dance moves could light up any room, and his way of connecting with people made everyone around him smile a little wider. 💃😊

Watching you grow and take off toward a new chapter makes us so proud, Saurabh. You’ve shown what real strength, kindness, and happiness look like. Wherever life takes you, keep dancing, keep smiling, and keep spreading that spark that makes you you. 💫

Wishing you a safe flight and a beautiful journey ahead. You’ll always be a part of the CCID family and always deeply loved. 💖
