Youngsters at an Abu Dhabi school have been given the opportunity to gain insight into some of the difficulties faced by disabled people.
In their project One World Many Abilities, Grade 5 pupils at Al Mushrif Primary School went about their daily routine, with a twist – some pupils were confined to wheelchairs, others wore blindfolds or noise-cancelling ear muffs.
Members of the UAE paraplegic sports community came to the school to talk to the pupils and introduce them to new experiences such as wheelchair basketball, blindfolded water polo or swimming with ear muffs on. Details
