Adam is a young man who is severely physically deformed from birth. Although he has no use of his arms and legs, Adam has a decent life. He went to a mainstream school, had the use of a special computer to study on and was extremely diligent in his studies. As a result he was well liked by his peers and enjoyed school life.
Adam knows that although he is disabled, he can lead a life of fulfilment and dignity. He knows that if there are hurdles he has to face, help will be provided. He knows that life has dealt him a cruel hand but that would never hinder his ability to find happiness.
Adam’s community rallies around him to provide assistance when needed. His family is loving and supportive. They provide a strong environment in which Adam thrives.
Adam’s is loved and knows this.
However…
Adam is a dream. The person who dreams about Adam has the same disability. That’s where the similarity ends.
He lives on the streets on Phnong Penh outside the King’s Palace. He is like so many others who are maimed or disfigured in poor countries such as Cambodia. He has nothing.
Could we not make at least part of that dream a reality?
Wishful thinking or not?
