Hey lovely, so tomorrow there is this event, awesome( in my opinion) that is going down at Kilimani Primary organized by therapiesforkids.org . Some one might be wondering why am so psyched for the day, here are a few of the reasons;- 1. A fun day for kids? sure those happen every other day and corporates know that they just need to organize for face painting, a lot of sweet things and the kids will go home happy, right? Now, this is going to be a fun day for special children. Those often forgotten or given weird looks when they show up for those other fun days. 2. How often have you spent time with someone with special needs. Now, am not talking about mildly restricting special needs, I mean persons with cognitive disabilities which may range from cerebral palsy, autistic spectrum of disorders among others. For me, that was all too new for me some months ago but I've of late had the chance to interact with kids with intellectual disabilities, autism and cerebra...

"Rain rain go away come again another day......" this nursery rhyme must be familiar to most if not all of you. When you are walking in town after a long day of shopping or at the office, then you feel a drop on your forehead, the first signs of a shower that will come down in no time, your first thought is to make a dash to the bus station or the matatu stage before the touts double the fare withing minutes of the rain. However much this might be a worry for any person with mobility restrictions or any form of special need, it is not their biggest worry.  Let me tell you why * When you are running to get to the bus station before the fare hikes, there's a person to whom running seized to be part of what they can do and they may end up getting drenched before they take cover. *Am sure for those who have been in the Capital at rush-hour, you know how crazy it gets with people pushing to get a seat on the next matatu or busy home. We all know it gets worse when its raini...

When looking at the photos that I uploaded in the previous post, WHAT'S YOUR TAKE? You might have noticed how there are some modifications that are rarely thought about when putting up buildings as well as other structures. When you wake up in the morning, we more often than not just worry about getting to work or school in time. rarely do you think about how the road is, which route on the road has friendly touts and drivers and vans instead of buses, right? When you're thinking and planning ahead on how your day will be at work, rarely do you think of how low or how high the seats are at the nearest eatery to your work place, rarely do you think of how slippery the floor is at that fast-foods joint. When a friend invites you to their place to maybe just hangout, how often do you ask them on what floor their house is on or how the stairs leading to their house are? When you think of changing jobs or even starting up on your career, how often do you want to visit the place,...

Often we wonder, what next after you have been given an official diagnosis that you have a form of disability and not just MD. I won't lie to you, at first it sound like a death sentence, especially with MD since there is no known cure for the condition and the best our medics can do it to tell you how to slow down the rate at which your muscles waste away. Soon after feeling as though it is a life sentence, there is a sense of relief when you finally have a name to condition that could not be explained by anyone and one that had gradually made you make modifications to how you live your life and carry out your daily activities. This relief, however, does not give you the permission to sulk and sit around waiting for your muscles to waste away, you need to come up with a plan on what you will do to ensure that you live your life to the fullest. For those with MD, you need to get on a regular routine to keep your muscles moving as soon as you can. Most people will go to workout ...
