Avanti - Direction

Avanti!!

We, at Avanti!!,

Do not argue with conservative methods of dealing with disabilities

Do not wish to take on any battle with established ways of dealing with disabilities

Wish to erase stigmas attached to disabilities

Wish to spread awareness about disabilities and sensitize society to the problems faced by the disabled

Wish to eradicate apathy

Want society to make an effort to communicate with the disabled using methods THEY find convenient

Do NOT want to force society’s idea of ‘normal’ on those who are disabled

Want to know what ‘normal’ means and who decides its meaning

Want to know why ‘normal’ is superior to ‘special’

Want to know which ‘normal’ person would like to be called ‘special’ because of his/her disabilities

We know no change occurs overnight and request your company in this long journey to a better, more sensitive world.

Welcome aboard!
