A Celebration of Abilities

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In November 2004, when the National Council of Social Services had embarked on its first-ever nationwide disability awareness campaign called A Celebration of Abilities, among its many objectives included portraying the abilities of people with disability, promoting interaction with the public, and fostering acceptance and workplace integration. Inspired by true characters and events, Three Gems tells a tale of three adolescents: a deaf girl, an intellectually disabled boy, and a delinquent youthspecial and unique but rejected by society and mostly forgotten. It portrays the struggles, the dilemmas, the hopes carried by each of them and their families, and the roles each VWO played in reintegrating them into society. It describes the selfless efforts and experience of volunteering and the emotions of the volunteers.
