Not Disabled But Differently Abled

I may not be able to walk but I can use my wheelchair to go where I need to go. I may not be able to speak clearly but I can use my laptop to write e-mails and chat on Facebook plus I use my cellular phone to send text messages. I said all of that, just to say this, differently abled people can do a lot of things with the help of technology and Determination.

Are We Invisible?

I was looking at an early morning television show a few weeks ago and they were speaking about HIV/AIDS so I text them and ask what about the disabled because they were speaking about every other community and they said that's a community that they have always overlooked. So my question is, are disabled people invisible in Trinidad and Tobago?

My Trip To Granville Beach

I just wanted to share these pictures with you.

Where Is My President?

I don't know how it works in other parts of the world but if you are silent for too long in Trinidad and Tobago people tend to forget and neglect you. With that said, can someone please tell the president of the Trinidad and Tobago chapter of Disabled People's International to make him or herself visible to the public and get in the government's face so they will not forget and neglect the differently abled community.

My Wish List

Well yesterday was election day in my beautiful country of Trinidad and Tobago and we had a change in government. I just hope that this new government will address the issues of public buildings not being wheelchair accessible, an improved public transportation system so the differently abled can get around with ease, more jobs for the differently abled and every school having an assistant or two to assist the differently abled students instead of having students with minor disabilities in 'special schools.'

A Mother's Worth

Mother's day, like all the other days that we celebrate each year, we celebrate just because we were told to. I don't agree with the notion that says that I should buy my mother a gift just because it's the second Sunday in May... Come on, why should we honour someone that is so precious to us once a year?

I'm Right Here

There are a few things that people do that really annoy me and one of those things is when people stand in front of me and talk about me like I'm not hearing what they are saying. Some people think that just because I'm in a wheelchair I'm deaf or I just can't comprehend what they say but I have news for them, I can!!!
