Inspiring stories
Introduction to the books
Handicap International(Belgium) shared a series of inspiring stories of Maldivian children and adults with disAbilities. With each story we can see part of a new world, and meet a person with a different experience of life. Through the stories we are privileged to gain an insight into what each person values, and what they aspire to. We realize that each character has another aspect to his or her life as well – either a hearing, visual, intellectual, mental or physical impairment. But as we read, we understood that all people, whether with or without an impairment, have skills, talents and dreams, as well as challenges in life.
These are true stories, using real names, and were written during 2008 / 2009. Each person is trying to help us understand more about his or her life, so that we could realize that everyone’s equal, and deserve equality. Through our understanding how we can help to make a more welcoming environment for all on our islands.
And in the end of introduction, Handicap International thanks the stars of the stories, for taking the time to share these stories with them.
