Muslim Charity provides 250 customised

The wheel chairs were funded by Muslim Charity donors from the UK and the distinguishing features of these wheel chairs were that they were customised according to the size of the beneficiaries, padded with heat resistant cushions for the long hours that disabled persons will spend on them especially during the hot summer days and furthermore they were manufactured in a factory where the entire workforce are people with disabilities themselves so it is an excellent source of livelihood for them.The differently-abled children put on wonderful tableau displays including a spectacular performance of playing cricket.

Commenting on the occasion, the President of Pakistan, Dr Arif Alvi said, “God has given some attributes which are experienced equally amongst all people regardless of personal circumstances or disabilities. These attributes include happiness, joy, hunger, thirst and so on.” He further elaborated, “Since God has not discriminated whilst distributing these attributes and feelings, similarly, society has a responsibility not to discriminate amongst people. Our buildings should be designed to allow for lifts, wheel chair access for the disabled so as not to discriminate.”
