LLibres infantils discapacitats

L’editorial La Desclosa ens presenta la seva nova col•lecció de llibres infantils, “Convivència”, amb la qual ens vol acostar d’una manera positiva a la vida diària de les persones amb alguna discapacitat. Els llibres d’aquesta col•lecció es fonamenten en uns valors d'integració, convivència, tolerància i respecte a la diferència. S’adrecen sobretot a un públic infantil i juvenil per donar-los a conèixer les diverses situacions, necessitats i experiències de les persones amb alguna discapacitat funcional per contribuir així a la seva sensibilització social, i potenciar les respostes comunitàries que afavoreixin el respecte a la diversitat, la igualtat d'oportunitats i a la seva inclusió social.

Els personatges principals d'aquests libres de contes infantils, són nens amb alguna discapacitat que ens apropen al seu món, a la seva manera de moure's i de relacionar-se amb altres persones del seu entorn, a través d'uns contes breus i senzills que inviten a reflexionar sobre una discapacitat en concret.

Així, en el llibre “Ens entenem a cegues” se’ns explica com la Caterina, que s’ha perdut, i no sap on són els seus pares, queda sorpresa que sigui precisament un cec qui vulgui ajudar-la a buscar-los. Tanmateix, ràpidament s’adona que, a la seva manera, en Mateu s’hi veu molt bé. En la “Tardor de l’àvia”, un altre llibre de la col•lecció, la Paula hi explica com és viure a casa de l’àvia Anni, que té la malaltia d'Alzheimer; en què cal ajudar l’àvia i quines coses fa més bé que ningú. En el llibre “Els meus peus són la cadira de rodes” veiem com una nena que va amb cadira de rodes es troba al parc amb un noi grassonet que és ridiculitzat pels seus companys pel fet de ser-ho. Es coneixen i es fan amics en adonar-se que tots dos són víctimes de prejudicis. I, en l’últim dels llibres publicats, “Parlem amb les mans” la Lisa es pregunta com sona el món perquè és sorda de naixement. Però, molt més que poder sentir-hi, la Lisa vol tenir amics que l’acceptin tal com és. Sortosament, apareix en Tomàs, que sap la llengua de signes. Amb ells entrem en el seu món silenciós, veiem com solucionen els problemes del dia a dia i i aprenem a comprendre’l.

La col•lecció constarà de 6 títols, del quals se n’han publicat 4:
Els meus peus són la cadira de rodes
Parlem amb les mans
Ens entenem a cegues
La tardor de l'àvia. La meva àvia té Alzheimer

Els altres dos que falten: “Formes part de nosaltres. Història d'una adopció” i“Junts som fantàstics. Una aula d’educació especial” es publicaran en el decurs del segon trimestre d’aquest any.

Children’s Camp held in Trincomalee, Sri Lanka

Children’s Camp held in Trincomalee, Sri Lanka


The GNRC Sri Lanka Team organized their third Children’s Camp at the Trincomalee Sarvodaya District Centre (Eastern Province) from the 08 to the 10 February with the participation of sixty five kids representing nine villages of the Trincomalee District.

As Trincomalee is a major war torn area in Sri Lanka, it’s extremely especial the meeting of twenty each kids from three different communities; Muslims, Tamils and Sinhalese. The other speciality was that the Sarvodaya District Centre was next to a Trincomalee Naval Camp, and there was live firing in the near by sea at the time of inaugural session on the 08th evening.

It was quite a big question mark for the participants as they may have started to wonder what we were planning to do. We later realize their thoughts while streaming through the photographs captured by our GNRC Team members.

Similar to the previous children’s camps held in Wallawaya and Ratnapura, the life tree exercise gave them a insight to their own lives and also made them comfortable being safe with in each other as every one of them were open and honest and understanding the other person by getting in to their shoes, but also this was quite a huge experience for the GNRC Team as when they started sharing their real life experience of the war and feelings of fear of loosing their own parents, community and friends.

The whole group was also taken to a Hindu Temple near by for a religious observance.
