DISABILITY: Song by children in Yemen

Submitted by crinadmin on

Summary: The song below was sung in Arabic by two girls at the regional consultation on children and disability held in Sana’a, Yemen. The song illustrates their recommendations to adults, including governments, NGOs, individual experts in disability rights, and other children, on making the rights of children with disabilities a reality.

Show me the way

Show me the way to succeed my friend,
Show me the steps all along the road,
My heart is enlightened and pure
I will be free from exclusion and move forward
Our way leads to success through education
Let us brothers work together to spread education and awareness
Those who live and are alive and are not like those who are dead
Show me the way to succeed my friend
