The physically challenged in this context, refers to people who have physical disabilities or impairment, especially one that limit mobility. They are often wrongly regarded by some as not being able to contribute to the society in a meaningful way. As such, such misperception must be corrected. Unhampered by their disabilities, many physically challenged are able to overcome all odds in order to prove that they can equally capable as the rest of us in the society. “When there is a will, there is a way”, what they need is a chance.


Here is few examples after some little research....Girls & Guys~Let's have a look on it!!

The Beautiful First Father's Day spent with his baby boy ❤ - Kiyoshi James Vujicic

If you're feeling alone, and your weariness has grown, look up above, and thank God for His love. There's nothing you can do, to change His love for you, hold on friend, it's not the end. Something beautiful will come, the clouds will part for the sun, the skies will break for the Son, and the Father will say "Well done". But until then, until then, you're not alone, He can make bread from stone. Hold on to Him, and He'll hold on to you. Take one day at a time, pray for faith and be kind, and when forgetful becomes your mind, remember what He said, "You are mine." - Nick Vujicic
