Don’t Dis my Ability
Don’t DIS my Ability campaign is about changing the misconceptions surrounding disability and creating an environment that encourages the disabled for participation in leisure pursuits and social activities.
College is the first place where students encounter people with disabilities. Students often have a soft corner for them and they tend to help them in navigation and other chores as a social responsibility. But in this process we often forget to care for their feeligs or give them emotional support. More than out pity they need our support; they need to have a normal life like all of us.
Anuthi Welfare Society with its tagline Don’t Dis My Ability
is spreading the same message among students. They envision a change in the mindset of people regarding disabilities, their campaign is about changing the misconceptions surrounding disability and creating an environment that encourages the disabled for participation in leisure pursuits and social activities. Giving them the necessary motivation towards education and helping them build the good personality by making the entire process enjoyable.
International Day of People with a Disability is celebrated around the world on 3 December. It’s a time for people with a disability, their friends, families and carers to celebrate their abilities with the wider community. Anuthi Welfare Society celebrates this day with a campaign called Don’t DIS My ABILITY. This year’s theme chosen by the United Nations is “Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities: Dignity and justice for all of us” which recognises that dignity and equal rights of all people are the foundations of freedom, justice and peace.
