Alternative Camp Second Group (1-8th July)

The second group was from Metin Sabancı Spastik Çocuklar Merkezi in Istanbul. They were spastic.

What's spastic by the way?
Spastic is a disease that prevents control of the muscles. When a part of one's brain that manages muscles gets damaged between 1-4 years old, one will be called spastic. Some of them get damaged not only a part of brain that manages muscle, also a part of brain that manages mental. So there are those who have both of mental disorder and physical disabilities.

They can not do what we do in daily life.
Some of them can not take a shower by theirselves, can not take their shoes off by theirselves, can not walk or can not speak clearly.

But they have abilities that we might not have (as ip-san wrote before).

For example they understand others' feelings from voice, faces or atmosphere more than us. For them, it might be normal to have these abilities and we might be lack of these abilities.

I think everybody has disabilities. Because we are all human beings.
There is no perfect person.

That's why we love and help each other.
