International Day for People with Disabilities

Emily619 December 4th, 2016

Hey everyone! As many of you may or may not know, yesterday was International Day for People with Disabilites. I'm a day late to post this, but it's never too late to celeberate! Maybe we can call it International Weekend, or even Week. I thought up some ways to celebrate, but feel free to add more and if you did do something, then please post and tell! I'd love to hear what you did :)

★ Lend a helping hand to someone with a disability

★ Create a blog post to spread awareness

★ Do volunteer work in your community for a cause

★ Encourage your community to do events regarding this, such as a 5K with the proceedings going to a disability fund

★ Spread the word and encourage your friends to participate in an activity with you :)

★ Spend time in nature

★ Give hugs to people who need them

There are so, so much more activities you can do but those are just a few that I thought of. Tell us what you did, and be sure to reward yourself!

★ Special Thanks to @AffyAvo for letting me about this! ★

According the UN website the theme is Achieving 17 Goals for the Future We Want

My city had a session on the Thursday. The theme here was Nothing About Us without Us. There was some really good information plus the event was a lot of fun. It was also interesting to see so many people who deal with a huge range of disabilities all together along with some of the things done to remove disability - and some not!
