It was an amazing trip, enthusiastic volunteers, great arrangements at every destination and the trip created a lot of awareness of inclusion.
Our eldest son Jaiden left us at the age of 18 and this firm is in memory of him. 18notout is to signify that Jaiden continues to live in our life and the memories of his lifetime are our strength. It gives us strength to know that at 18 he did not stop living but continues to live in our hearts and memories through other special children like him. With 18notout we want to help create memories for the special child and parents across the world as we believe the memories created with parents and kids are precious and if not created now would be a lost opportunity for the family to keep them strong always. We want to be known as that firm that helps in planning, managing and executing the Events/Tours/milestones for the special child and Family. Our experience in the field makes us unique and we wish to provide them a tension-free experience, where they focus only on Creating Memories.
Our Volunteers are from background of people with varied talent who are willing to spend their time and talent to support the family with special needs, majority of our volunteers are special educators, practing art form teachers and those who understand the need of the special children and their family. All of them have their heart towards the cause.
With open hearts and hands, we support and cherish every child's journey, celebrating their unique strengths and abilities.

The S1E1 trip of 18 not out was awesome. The planning of everything including food, short eats, music in the bus, badges for the children and entertainment was excellent.
Archana and I have not been able to do everything sisters get to do together, but we both sure love driving around the city while listening to music; that’s our shared time and space! Our day trip with 18NotOut gave us that and much more. For the first time, I could sit with my sister ( because I was not driving here) and see the joy and wonder on her face as she experienced something as simple as her first bus ride. We were both extremely comfortable and at ease, something we had never felt even when travelling with extended family. I did not have to worry about how I would move her around in all these public spaces! I am happy to know Ligi, Sunil and everyone associated with 18NotOut. I see a community growing from this beautiful initiative and am looking forward to Archana and me being a part of it. I hope it inspires change.
The trip organised by " 18 NOT OUT "was a wonderful experience for me and my son. He was a free bird with zero restrictions and enjoyed every aspect of the trip. It was a well organised trip and created wonderful memories.
Thanks Ligi and Sunil for organising such a wonderful memorable trip, I am sure this is one of the first ever planned day trips for children like ours. I was overwhelmed with the love and dedication you both put into making this a success
I absolutely adore this team. They made the trip so memorable that Anushka is still immersed in the trip. This morning also she woke up and started talking to her father about the trip. Thank you so much for making this difference. We travel a lot, but this time, she traveled with a very different set of people who initially were outside her comfort zone. But she cherished every moment. Once again, thank you volunteers
