Morocco: “Do You Accept My Handicap?”

November 6th, 2008 by POA

Throughout October we have "traveled" throughout Africa, examining disability issues, from country to country.

Although October is over, we will continue our tour of the continent until we’ve looked at each and every country. Thank you to those of you who are following along, leaving comments and contacting us about this tour!


Morocco: "Do You Accept my Handicap?"

Omar Koussih will soon be 19. He weighs 16 kilos and will never weigh more. Omar thinks and – with the help of a special mouse with which he operates the keyboard on the computer screen - writes. Beautifully. Poems (one of them is in the annex), letters, and emails with which he tries to highlight his situation and the fate of the 500 million disabled people around the world.
