History

The Anou Grandi School was founded on January 14, 1999, by Rama and Gina Poonoosamy for their daughter Amsi.

 

To ensure the sustainability of the school's activities, the Anou Grandi Association was officially established in December 2000 with the involvement of seven dedicated members: Eddy Yeung, Selvam Madoorapen, Joel Toussaint, Isabelle Le Bon-Poonoosamy, Luc Le Bon, Rama, and Gina Poonoosamy.

 

Today, the association has expanded to include 150 members, continuing its mission to support children with special needs.
