He has the following three milestones set to achieve for the visually impaired persons of the society, which are:

·        Awareness

He wishes that the visually challenged persons not to be recognized as disabled and burdened to the society but rather as equal and abled differently.

“Feed a Child and Educate” program, is the first project Mr. Manoj Pattni wishes to embark on by raising funds through sponsorships to cycle for
100 kilometers to Naivasha. There are 350 children in the school who go without a meal a day. Going hungry, makes the child’s concentration in their
studies drop to drastically. Hence, the feeding program will boost the children’s morale and motivate them to excel in their education.

With the goals set forth, Manojbhai Pattni takes his first step into the challenging yet noble journey.
