Karan Singh :Deaf and Mute Sikh Boy Designs Face Mask Extender for Turbans, Hjabs







SikhNet | Sharing the Sikh Experience
Eleven-year-old
Sikh boy, Karan, who is deaf and mute, saw his father struggling with his mask
and designed an extender to help make daily wear more comfortable.
Karan Singh is a student at Infinite Minds
Academy which carries technology related programmes for special needs children
of all spectrum.
His teacher, Kiren Kaur, says, "This
boy is very creative. He doesn't come from a very rich family. He didn't buy
the mask he is wearing, he sewed his own, for his parents and for himself... So
he came up with what we call the "face mask extender" for the
Punjabis... From word of mouth the popularity if this item has spread to the
U.S. and India. The academy has received order from corporations and companies
to custom-make the extender. 


All
proceeds from the sales go to Karan's future education.
