DISABILITY IS NOT INABILITY

-


Disability means any physical or mental condition that restricts your movements, senses and activities. Disability means any physical or mental disadvantage or handicap. A person may have a handicap from birth or it might be the result of any fatal accident or mishap that a person encounters during his or her lifetime. Disability breaks down the spirit of many. But, disabled people can also attain success if they have belief in their potentials and persevere towards their goal. Helen Keller was blind, but she never led this disability come in her way.
In the words of Martina Navratilova, “Disability is a matter of perception. If you can just do one thing well, you are needed by someone.” Disabled people should never be looked down upon by others. They have the ability to realize their dreams and ambitions, like any other human being. As Martina Navratilova said, disability is how you consider it. Being a purely relative term, disability is no hurdle in the path of any determined individual who wants to achieve success.

Ukatili dhidi ya watoto umeongeza idadi ya watoto wanaoishi kwenye mazingira hatarishi licha ya kuwepo juhudi za kupambana na tatizo hilo.        Watoto wanaoishi katika mazingira hayo, huathirika kisaikolojia kutokana na kujiingiza katika vitendo vya matumizi ya gundi na dawa za kulevya, huku sehemu ya jamii katika ngazi ya familia na kuficha tatizo badala ya kulipeleka kwenye vyombo vya dola. Wanafanya hivyo kwa maelezo kuwa wanaogopa aibu, matokeo yake kuna ongezeko la watoto wa mtaani, baadhi ambao bado wapo chini ya matunzo ya wazazi wao, lakini wanajiingiza katika tabia ya kuomba fedha na wanaonekana mitaani katika miji mbali mbali nchini. Ukatili unafanyika dhidi ya watoto kuanzia ngazi ya familia na ndugu wa karibu kwa kumbaka au kumlawiti mtoto anyeishi nao. Sheria ya mtoto namba 21 ya mwaka 2009, inalenga kurekebisha na kuimarisha sheria zote zihusuzo watoto, kuainisha haki, kukuza na kulinda maslahi bora ya watoto kwa mujibu wa sheria. Kuna uwezekano wa kul

  Stephanie Koster Mama Mlezi wa Kituo cha Mt. Nicholaus Children Center Akisoma Historia ya Kituo Kwa Wageni Waliotembelea Kituo hapo tarehe 05/02/2013 Mwanadamu mkamilifu apoamka asubuhi na kuanza siku yake kwa kutekeleza majukumu yake ya kawaida ya kila siku ya kujiingizia kipato halali cha kujikimu na kuyafanya maisha yasonge mbele huwa siyo rahisi kukumbuka kuwa kuna binadamu ambao wanahitaji msaada na uangalizi wa karibu sana. Mashirika, Taasisi mbalimbali za serikali na binafsi aidha watu mmoja mmoja katika kuangalia makundi maalum ya kusaidia mara nyingi huwakumbuka watoto yatima na waishio katika mazingira magumu, wazee na walemavu wa viungo. Lakini kuna kundi maalum ambalo jamii hulisahau bila kulipa kipaumbele.. Walemavu wenye utindio wa ubongo katika jamii zetu za kitanzania husaulika sana na kuachwa bila msaada wowote wa karibu, mfano kupatiwa huduma ya karibu kama huduma za kiafya, elimu aidha kuwa na mahusiano ya kawaida katika j

    YOHANA 9:2-7 Wanafunzi wake wakamwuliza Wakisema Radi, ni yupi aliyetenda dhambi, mtu huyu au wazazi wake, hata zaliwe kipofu? Yesu akajibu, Huyu hakutenda dhambi wala wazazi wake; bali kazi za Mungu zidhihirishwe ndani yake. Imetupasa kuzifanya kazi zake yeye aliyenipeleka maadamu ni mchana na usiku waja asipoweza mtu kufanya kazi. Muda nilipo ulimwenguni mimi ni nuru ya ulimwengu. Alipokwisha kusema hayo alitema mate chini, akaifanya tope kwa yale mate. Akampaka kipofu tope za macho, akamwambia Nenda kanawe katika birika ya Siloamu, basi akaenda na kunawa; akarudi anaona. Basi jirani zake na wale waliomwona zamani kuwa ni mwombaji wakasema, Je! Huyu si Yule aliyekuwa akiketi na kuomba? Wengine wakasema, ndiye wengine wakasema La, lakini amefanana naye. Yeye mwenyewe alisema, Mimi ndiye.    Mwandishi wa kitabu hiki amenikumbusha mbali, hasa kutokana na mitazamo hasi katika jamii dhidi ya walemavu kwa ujumla, ila pia nimepata amani hasa nilipotazama kumbe mita
