Ginny's Planet is a world where- no one is considered odd-one-out on the basis of differences; disability is considered as human diversity; imperfections are believed to be a part of our lives; & everyone has opportunities to flourish.
With your help, we are building a network of aware, empathic, and diversity respecting people, especially future leaders and decision makers. This is the core population on Ginny's Planet. Some people have already joined. And the population is slowly increasing!
We design age-appropriate tools for children, including customized training workshops on empathy, embracing diversity & spirit of inquiry for various age groups.
Our dolls/ action figures, & stories aim to showcase empathy & human diversity. Ginny is one of the lead characters. Ginny is a child with radial club hand and vision problems. Her friend Sai will be introduced next. The dolls and stories trigger conversations between children and grown-ups and hence build spaces for acknowledgment of diversity.
Ginny is not just one product or one storybook. We are working on a series of dolls and storybooks with Ginny and her friends. We are building a world of Ginny and her friends. And you are welcome to join it!
