According to you, how does disability look like? Have you ever visited a centre providing care for people with special needs?
Some members of the Rotaract Club of Jumeirah and the Rotaract Club of Dubai had that chance this week-end. We went there with the only thing we had: our generosity. The person who was with me is a musician and we decided to organise a mini performance.
After being introduced to each resident, my friend started his show. This is when on my side, I got familiar with each resident. Every patient over there is different and unique. I had the pleasure to meet these adorable twins. One suffers from a high level of autism and his brother has the same disease but at a lesser degree. I was amazed by the brilliant memory of the brother who was less affected.
Each resident receives an education that includes reading, writing, mathematics, and physical activities. Every week, volunteers help the centre to take the residents to the beach. I heard this touching story of an 8 years old kid who came to the centre without being able to talk properly. He’s now able to pronounce his name and start a conversation.
It might sound so basic to be able to pronounce your name. But for some people, it can be a struggle that need more time to master. So my only advise will be, don’t take things for granted. I believe we all have our own potential to develop. And so have our members of the community with special needs who definitely need more attention and care, but they can make it too.
If you want to support the centre or have an idea to achieve that, please let us know by contacting pr@RotaractJumeirah.org.
