Welcome to the IDPwD Blog Party.
Infinite Ability and Enabling Unit, UCMS & GTB Hospital,
Delhi, India is proud to host the first blog party devoted to International Day
of Persons with Disabilities (IDPwD), December 3, 2011. PwD’s, care givers and family
members from around the world are invited to share their stories and educate
others about how they overcome their disabilities.
The list of disabilities include autism spectrum disorders,
blindness, cerebral palsy, chronic neurological conditions, Deaf-blindness,
Dwarfism, hemophilia, hearing impairment, intellectual disability, leprosy-cured,
locomotor disability, mental illness, muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis,
specific learning disabilities, speech impairment and thalassemia.
The United Nations (UN) designated December 3 as IDPwD and the theme of
this year is “Together for a better world for all: Including persons with
disabilities in development.” In line
with the theme and in order to develop awareness on a global level, we
solicit blogs from all those who are interested. Beginning November 3, we will
start uploading received blogs to celebrate month long activities directed
towards IDPwD and culminating on 3rd Dec 2011.
Your contributions are welcome on the email: satendra@medicalhumanitiesindia.org.
The selected blogs will be uploaded here.
