Nobility doesn't reside in your nationality


I watched a brief report on Mobility India Charity organisation. It is an organisation based in India and aims to serve disabled people, mainly, who lost function of their legs due to Polio. Taking into consideration the level of poverty in that part of the world, this organisation came up with a cheap way to replace limbs of disabled people. That was done in such a way that those prosthetic limbs are functional as well as modifiable as the individual grows or changes in needs. One has to mention that the prosthesis are hardly sightly, however are functional. I was really taken by what the people who worked for this organisation did.

They work so hard to perfect the gift of independence..

You might think now, but why the picture with the African children? well, this charity have done so well that they are going to extend their services to Ethiopia where similar high trends of disability due to polio exist. It is beautiful to see such non-profitable 'business' extending far and wide with the sole benefit of making others happy..
It just amazed me how those noble 'Indians' have achieved so much with modest opportunities. Unfortunately, so many Kuwaitis think they are far superior than those Indians just because God decided they are Kuwaitis. We are nothing but couch-potatoes who are making no difference in our children, let alone in the rest of the world. I hope one day that Kuwaitis will realise that nobility doesn't reside in their nationality.
