A DIALOGUE BETWEEN A CHILD WITH DISABILITIES AND THEIR FATHER A child asked their father: “Dad, where am I right now?” The father replied: “In this homeland, which is said to be full of love and compassion.” The child spoke again: “Is that true, Dad? In reality, we still can’t feel the meaning of inclusion.” The father then said: “A hero will be born in January, who will liberate you, my child, and all people with disabilities.” “How will he free us, Dad?
While those out there don’t trust us, don’t give us opportunities, but sometimes give us insults.” “Certainly not with knives and swords, my child.” “Then with what, Dad? With false hopes?” “With creations, with innovations, they will accelerate, my child.” “Later, you will enjoy the rivers of inclusion flowing here, my child. You can drink its water to your heart’s content to quench the thirst that has grown weary from waiting.
You will also enjoy stages of creation because he has shattered the bars of discrimination. You will become a recognized human being, an economically independent human being, a human being with an iron will, so move forward with other people with disabilities to work, because he has opened the way. He doesn’t need many weapons to become a knight, my child; he just needs to use ITI to overthrow injustice and discrimination.
Learn from him, my child, ask for his powerful mantra: overcoming limitations without limits.” The child said: “Then who is he, Dad? Or what is he, Dad?” The father said: “He is Kartunet, my child; find him and learn there.” The child then said: “Thank you, Dad, thank you Kartunet, you are a beacon for us, people with disabilities; you have lit our path.”
