                                  SUPPORT OUR CAUSE FOR THE DISABLED
Calgary, AB. April 19, 2015- The Independent living Resource Centre pleases to make known to the entire Canadians and public that it has liaised with ROBERTSON COLLEGE towards providing some educational programs that will help give the less privileged ones a sense of belonging and some form of human dignity in society.
The program is one of many that are meant to give purpose and meaning to those with living with one form of disability all across Canada, knowing that the potentials they possess can be put to effective use for the growth and development of a country such as ours. However, the educational program is far more than giving them basic educational knowledge but propelling them to becoming potential and resourceful managers that can be appreciated in the workplace self-dependent.
Meanwhile, members of the public are encouraged to help in sponsoring at least one of these our fellow Canadians who has a dream and vision of becoming somebody in life through acquiring educational goals; as we know “Love is not patronizing and charity isn’t about pity it is about love. Charity and love are the same- with charity you give love, so don’t just give money but reach out your hand instead”
Canadians the questions we should ask ourselves is; should we allow our abled bodied men and women to be a subject of disdain and mockery because of their disability? Of course the answer is No for anyone who has a loved one that suffers the same fate or imagines what it is to be disabled and abandoned by society. ‘Every sunrise is an invitation for us to arise and brighten someone’s day’.





                                                                  -  More-







As Daine Kreuger chairperson of the organization stated in her address “Charity is the power of defending that which we know to be indefensible. Hope is the power of being cheerful in circumstances which we know to be desperate. It is true that there is a state of hope which belongs to bright prospects and the morning; but that is not the virtue of hope. The virtue only exists in earthquake and eclipse. It true that there is a thing crudely called  charity, which means charity to the deserving poor, but charity to the deserving poor is not charity all, but justice. It is the undeserving who requires it, and the ideal either does not exist at all, or exist wholly for them.  For practical purposes it is at the hopeless moment that requires the hopeful man, and the virtue either does not exist at all, or begins to exist at moment. Exactly at the instant when hope ceases to be reasonable it begins to be useful.”
However, we encourage all who love and want to support the talented disabled young and dynamic Canadians should visit our website ed@illrcc.ca  or contact Barbara on 403-263-6880 ext 222 for more details, we appreciate all willing to bring a change to our young men and women by supporting this noble cause of making a difference in the lives of these respected individuals that are fully endowed.
