We dedicate a lot of time on this blog to sharing the stories of kids whose lives have been transformed through CURE.

But this week we’d also like to share a different type of story.

You see, it’s not enough that we heal children of their physical deformities. CURE also seeks to enable these children — and all people with disabilities — to overcome the stigma they have commonly endured.  We look forward to a day when all people are treated as equals.

On December 3, the United Nations celebrates International Day of Persons with Disabilities, which “aims to promote a better understanding of disability issues with a focus on the rights of persons with disabilities.”

All this week, in the lead up to this day on Friday, we will feature the thoughts of various members of the CURE family from around the world; they will share their insights on the crucial role CURE plays in championing the rights and dignity of people with physical disabilities.

Please check back often!
