"Young Change Makers!!"


This is quite an interesting TV commercial shown in French - What if people with disabilities are not a minority in this world?

Channel NewsAsia has just started running the encore of 'I'm special, It's OK'. The programme debuts 19 September 2005, every Monday night 8.32pm (reruns at 11.32pm) until 3 October 2005. The program visits schools in Singapore and Thailand where information technology levels the playing field for children with special needs.

In Asia, Asians see people with disablities differently..very often, in a negative way. The same goes to some Singaporeans.

It's about time we ought to change this mindset.

People with or without disablities, I say, we are all human beings. Why must we discriminate people with disablities, thinking that they can't do the same things as their able-bodied counterparts?

If we don't give them the chance, how can they prove their capablity?
