Education

Attaqwa mosque is open to a wheelchair user.
Seeing Laeli, a Wisma Cheshire’s resident for the first time can enter the mosque with her wheel chair.
The mosque staff was quite flexible and accommodative.
“Wheels are their feet. If we clean our feet before entering the mosque, let’s clean their wheels before they enter the mosque,” said one of the staff.
If they come to your place to hold a mainstreaming disability training, immediately arrange your schedule because their information is very important and useful for improving your institute services.

After attending this training, we learned that our friends with disabilities are not weak but they are unique.
Persons with disabilities and us are equal as a unique person in the diverse society.
We understood that uniqueness is not only involving in difference backgrounds, ethnics, languages but also difference characteristics.
This training made us have sensitization of diversity, made us able to appreciate diversity.
In particular, Prasetiya Mulia took a benefit from this training: becoming an inclusive and friendly campus for all.

We’re so excited there’s a teacher who taught us about individual differences.
Everyone is different, including our friends with disability.
They have a unique characteristic. My friend with visual disability read with his fingers. They call it Braille.
My friend with hearing disability talks with their hands. They call it sign language.
Learning Braille and sign language was so much fun!

Before join this training, we thought that persons with disabilities is as same as sickness persons.
However, it was false perception!
They are not sick, they have an impairment in their body.
 It was fantastic, the training was lead by a team who is persons with disabilities took action sharing their knowledge and experience how to interact with them.
We really learned about their characteristic and life style. By this, we became more sensitive to see, to hear, to talk, and to walk.This training gave a very good contribution.

We are so excited attending this training.
This training made us know characteristic of persons with disabilities.
It was amazed that the training were given by facilitators with disabilities.
We practice how to guide a visually disabled person directly. We also learned to read Braille letters. It’s so much fun.
From this training I learn to respect other people’s uniqueness.
