Hey Guys! Look at how we are helping our Rainbow Nation

“I proudly put my name to this pledge that unites against prejudice and discrimination. I challenge every South African to do the same. Each of us is a unique creation of God. Each of us has a special purpose from God. Those of you who despise and harm others because of their differences work against God. They do not represent me. They should not represent you. We must unite in trust and love and heal our Rainbow Nation.”

Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu

The campaign is being organized by the Association for the Physically Disabled (APD) – Greater Johannesburg – who for more than 70 years, has been dealing with the discrimination that people with disabilities experience and by Barrier Breakers, a division of the APD, which focuses on breaking down barriers between people with disabilities and able-bodied South Africans.
