According to Mr. Eromosele who is a board member of Christabel Otueroro Foundation, “It is only with the creation of a Commission for the disabled that their interest will be catered for. We are all created by God, that is why the society must be patient and understand us.”
“If you cannot help, do not hurt or take advantage over the disabled, treat them the way you treat other children and be ready to communicate with them. The parents of a disabled child should make them to be independent and educate them,” he added.
The Executive Director of Christabel Otueroro Foundation, Mr. Onome Otueroro said this year’s Christmas Party for the gifted children, with the theme, “We are human and should be treated as such,” is an annual event since 2013
“We call on parents of physically challenged children to join the Association of intellectual and Developmental Disability of Nigeria to discuss the way forward for the welfare of those who are visually and hearing impaired, those on wheel chairs and mentally retarded
“The parents should not be tired of their physically challenged children because it is not their making. They should be extra patient and adjust their life to their own. A parent without a child with disabilities does not know how it is, because it is a different world entirely. Do not be ashamed and treat them anyhow,” he added.
Some of the Parents of the children in an interview lamented the rising cost of drugs prescribed for them and they appealed to the government to come to their rescue, while others during their testimonies said though their children are handicapped, they are brilliant and they thanked God for their lives.
There was distribution of gifts to the children, dancing and merriment during the Christmas party.
