Differently-abled and following their dreams against the odds

All the discrimination, funny stares and gossip forces many families to hide their children who are living with disabilities, in a bid to protect them from being bullied by the public. The attitudes are sometimes the result of cultural norms and beliefs that associate disabilities with witchcraft or curses.

However, some people living with disabilities are fortunate enough to have a strong supportive system from family members, more especially parents. This helps boost their confidence, stand firm and work hard towards achieving their dreams.
