ESHANI, ADMINISTRATOR
Eshani does not allow her disability to stop her doing things. She loves dancing and is a lead dancer in ECSAT’s Dance and Drama programmes and a joy to watch with her beautiful facial expressions and graceful arm movements. In 2015 she started work at ECSAT and now works full time as an administrator. Here she is ironing and packaging ECSAT’s handicraft products ready for posting overseas.
