    I am Rama, Chitra’s sister who is part of the team, which has launched the Disability Awareness Week from 3rd to 8th December to create awareness on the issue.

    Thank you so much for giving a link to our website and for the public service ad that you have created for the cause.

    very apt picture you have created. we all need to understand that there is “ability” in “disAbility” ! we just have to shift our focus from disability to their abilities and encourage and support them to reinforce the abilities. Every one of us have handicaps. but the handicaps need not become a disability!

    nice one… what a coincidence, I just visited a stall by samarthan ( http://www.samarthanam.org/ ) this week and it was nice, I almost forgot to put up a post of their latest activities but thanks for reminding, I want to scan their posters and put it up.

    Anyway there’s a walk-a-thon that they’ve arranged on December 9th: December 9th 2006: “The Great Walkathon”

    Also when hungry, one can order a pizza from office – and sponsor a child’s meal for a month. The pizza is a large family package for 4 including extra items – and can typically be ordered as a team lunch/dinner from office I guess. It costs 600 – they have a tie-up with Pizza Corner. Details are here…

    One of my comments on Councellor Latha’s blog…

    There are many abilities a human can be endowed with, deprived of which one can say he is ‘disabled’ or more gentle word is ‘impaired’ etc. Being without sight or hearing etc one is disabled but can be overcome and does not become a real disability beyond a certain extent. Compassion is defined as the ability to put oneself in another’s skin. Of all the abilities, being without this ability is the greatest and one and only real disability that matters.

    We all have this disability to a certain extent and this is the one and only disability that we really must overcome! :)

    Its worse not to have a vision than to be blind.

    “Disability is not a curse but, a challenge and no challenge is insurmountable” — Jyotindra Mehta (India’s first visually-disabled s/w programmer).

    Is there any specific reason for celebrating “December 3rd ” as “International Day of Disabled Persons”?

    I think India has to go a long way. Even the ramps are just only a small concession. Real help has to be much more than that.
