The Cripple Goes To School
- A play
The play begins with the birth of a rejected seed, planted by ignorance, watered by the unknown and harvested by strangers. What a strange paradox! A physically challenged and disabled child was born blind and crippled but denied the right to live even at birth. Unwanted by his own father, abandoned by his mother, rejected by his community… could it be a curse or a blessing?
Every child should be given the right to live and the right to education. Whether normal or physically challenged. In him lies the potential to change the world. This play is highly instructive, informative, and revealing. It will bring an end to child rejection and abandonment in our society
