Sukraj ‘Aaron’ Niranjan, 55, was forced to quit school after being paralyzed at aged eight for four years, but he became a self-taught tailor, which later helped him to secure a job with an organisation in New York that supplies outfits to the US Army.
He is in charge of the needlecraft department at Alphapointe – Vision for Life, where he cuts and assembles the clothing.
Alphapointe is a multi-faceted organisation that supports visually-impaired adults and youth through education, employment and advocacy.
