Let Them Be Heard

Along with the rest of the world and its myriad of societies, our homeland (Nagaland) has also been awakened with a challenge- to mould and tell about the silent minds and bodies, more commonly known as the Disabled people. Literally, INCULSION can be their plight to the people. This will educate and help to enable and empower persons with disability to live as independently and as fully as possible within and as close to the community to which they belong. It is also to strengthen facilities to provide support to persons with disability to live within their own families. A positive attitude towards the differently abled people can be brought about only if the public were made aware and rise above for a cause.
In Nagaland, one can safely agree that for long, many homes and families having disabled person as its kith and kin lived in bewilderment, finding hard to tell and do- how to detect, encourage and provide stimulus to such great minds. Truly, in good faith and spirit, our people have now come to a stage of accepting and providing such persons with methods of bringing them into contact with any other normal person. Perhaps, associating oneself with a Disabled person makes one to rediscover the wonders that are lying hidden in them. As they grow, they are also ingrained with real, innovative and skillful talents.
Today’s life unfolds to a certain extent on ‘how to learn to live with a Disabled ‘ and drawing closer to understanding such a person as well as to enlarge their world is that, taking up tasks and endeavors in this line of life rests tremendously on the prism of community challenge and not as an individual challenge. So, in the light of bringing various hearts and minds together for the cause of the Disabled people in Nagaland, the Nagaland Mercy Mission is forging ahead to organize a musical evening  with the main aim of
• Creating awareness of the plight of the disabled people in Nagaland
• To provide a platform for people with disability to show their talent
• To create a political will to include disabled people in Naga society
• To promote the Ministry of Inclusion in churches in Nagaland
• To become a friend of the disabled.
With the motto- “Being a friend of the disabled”, “You and I are the voice of the disabled”.
Disability being a community challenge, many high profile  individuals and groups are coming forward to support encourage and bless this organization on 6th January 2011 at IMC hall Dimapur. It is our moral responsibility to accept, encourage and love these people.
In spirit and by deeds, let’s all try to be human for we believe that all those who fall in the life of the Unheard are also somebody whose lives needs to be understood, loved and possessed. Like all other men, he is much more than what he is consciously aware of. Together we can make a cared world.
