Dont DIS my ability


Still after 9 years of coming to these #orphanages, I ride a roller coaster of #emotions. Walking into one building, my 45 year old friend spots me. He gestures me over in his own way and says ‘nuoc’ (water) and gestures his hand like a painting move. It’s been almost two years since I’ve seen him and he remembered the last time I saw him, we did a paint with water piece. The next day, I brought him one and watched him paint with water. His physical #disability affects his speech- but it does not equate to a cognitive disability. I leave feeling #hopeless and emotional thinking that for 45 years this man has mainly sat in a room and stared at blank walls or at best, a tv. #missionnampossible #dontDISmyability
