Sometime making really simple changes or providing an additional resource can make the world of difference help create a more inclusive environment" Said Swaroop Reddy, Director, SPI Cinemas.
"The SENS show is a shining example of what a great difference an enlightened corporate like SPI Cinemas can make to the lives of children with special need. Their Openness to ideas, their willingness to provide resources and the conviviality of every SPI employee has been exemplary through the year. The results are seen on the smiling faces of the special kids even as they enter the theater and the huge cheers and applause at the end of every show. Thank you SPI, it has been our pleasure to assisting you in making this happen" - Mala & Chinna, aspecialworld
