Disability resulting from accidents, illness, or congenital defects, present
unique challenges, barriers, arid interruptions in the accomplishment of
life tasks. More than half a billion person are disabled as a result of
mental, physical or sensory impairment and no matter which part of the world
they are in, their lives are often limited by physical or social barriers.
Disabled persons often suffer from discrimination because of prejudice or
ignorance, and also may lack access to essential services. This is a "silent
crisis" which affects not only disabled persons themselves and their
families, but also the economic and social development of entire societies,
where a significant reservoir of human potential often goes untapped.
Disability is not a curse and every disabled has dormant quality. If this
dormant quality can grow up then disable person can be included in main
stream and they can play active role in development process. The only thing,
opportunity is needed to back them ill the main stream. Dutch-Bangla Bank
Limited has sanctioned Tk. 2,00,000.00 (taka two lac) for the welfare
of blind student in favor of Blind Education and Rehabilitation Organization
(BERDO). |
