I'm speechless!
And at the same time ever so grateful to the Almighty that he gave me all the five senses...
Unfortunately, we live in a world which operates on certain set standards. We, as a society, have failed human kind on so many levels.
These special people are indeed a gift to us not-so-special people. Their purity has protected us from the wrath of Almighty. Else He would be so furious with us right now that he would just finish us with one gesture of His hand.
We as humans have stooped so low, and yet a few people like you have the compassion in their hearts to make the lives of these people a little bit easier or make us, all the ignorant lot, to give it a thought at least.
Makes my heart heavy 💔
But there are also positive developments. When I was a teenager, in our country it was not customary to take into account the interests of people with special needs. All sidewalks in the city had high curbs, no stairs were equipped with ramps, traffic lights did not have sound signals, etc. Since then, I believe, we have taken a giant step forward. So I think we can be better.
Wondering how your country is doing with inclusion?
Didn't you get an idea with my very frustrating comment 😕
Unfortunately, not so well.
Here, normal people are struggling on daily basis, let alone these special ones...
Sad sad situation.
Only a handful of organisations, maybe, working independently for their welfare...
The European Union has done a lot in this regard. Our country dreamed of joining the EU for three decades, so we had a breakthrough and somehow it happened that all new projects provide facilities for people with special needs. But of course we still have a long way to go in this direction.
To be honest, reading posts from Pakistanis, I thought the situation was much better in your country. Everything looks very cool in the photos.
