We are all temporarily abled peo- ple. One day, on our way to work, while working or participating in some forms of physical activities, we may sustain a sudden traumatic injury resulting in a physical or mental disability.
Disability means a loss of personal functions.
Most of you would have no problem regarding mobility, holding a cup of coffee, reaching for the sandwiches or going to the toilet during tea-break. For the disabled people in your midst, these are things that they cannot do or can do so only with great difficulty. Disability in practical terms means the loss of one's ability to dress, groom, eat, toilet, walk, climb stairs or to converse, among other things. The picture you see on the screen is a lady who, at a young age, dived into the shallow end of a swimming pool and became paralysed. You can see the tears on her face.
