“America is The Land of Opportunity” they say. This statement is true for all Americans regardless of age, color, background, or physical abilities. If you are handicapped and have a dream to succeed in America, the resources are plentiful for you to achieve great heights. Well, these resources we take for granted, are not afforded to our brothers and sisters elsewhere.
What if you were handicapped in a third world country where there is little to no help or resources? There are no modified vehicles, no handicapped parking, and barely any pavement for your wheelchair to ride on. What if you had a sharp mind and a vision of better things but your legs didn’t work? What if you were not able to attend college because you get around in a wheel chair and there are no wheel chair ramps to access college buildings? What would your future be?
But what if,
Someone had an idea to change all that?
What if,
They networked with some people who could make things happen?
What if,
They got a plan together and all they needed to make it happen was a little money?
What if
Someone opened there heart and said- “I will be the one. I will be the change.”
What if you were that someone?
According to the World Health Organization, 80% of persons with disabilities live in developing third world countries and account for 15- 20 % of the worlds poorest. “It is important to bear in mind that accurate facts are very hard to obtain, as so many disabled people are hidden and anonymous with regard to official statistics.”
Disabled people of working age in developed and developing countries are 3 times more likely to be unemployed and live in real poverty.
Cuttington University, one of the oldest universities in Africa, is one such university in Liberia. While Cuttington has been dedicated to helping talented, motivated students develop their skills, define their goals, and follow their dreams, they lack some much needed wheel chair ramps so that handicap students can access the buildings and attend college.
Global Orphan Outreach along with Cuttington University is inviting you to help open the world of education to students with handicaps by helping us to raise the funds necessary to build several wheel chair ramps through out the Cuttington campus. Cuttington has made the commitment to provide the labor to build the ramps and all that is needed is the funds for the materials.
Will you help today? Will you help these students access their college thus having access to a bright future for themselves. Contact Global Orphan Outreach and ask how you can help. All donations are tax deductible. Call us at #715-415-4401 or email us at www.globalorphanoutreach.org
