The wheelchair dance team, We Are One, from Delhi, and the Sunadha Flute and Beatboxing Band, based in Bangalore, traveled to Mumbai for a performance at their Long Service Awards event hosted by the MNC Giant L&T Finance. Taking it to LinkedIn, Raju D, COO, L&T Finance said, "These 3 played music from their hearts. They can not see the instruments that they are holding. Their connection is through feel, touch, sound and what they detect from the environment. And do I need to mention hundred of moist eyes for gratitude towards almighty for blessing us with something that they are deprived of. Boys - love you for your music, kudos for your resilience and thank you for “opening our eyes”. You made us humble."
