Rakitha was deaf, but he was able to learn at close to his grade level which made all of us wonder what more could be done? The amazing Matron of the Baranasuriya Home for the Handicapped sought advice from doctors about his situation. Hearing aids were the best way to help him live up to his potential, but they were costly and out of reach due to expense. C.O.L.O.R. paid for Rakitha to receive his first hearing aids. They were a life changer! He quickly went from a quiet kid to chatter box! The local school for typical kids agreed to let him attend school there because he was no longer stigmatized.
