When the desire is pure, God takes it and makes it possible.<\/p>\n
I do not know in what plans it was written, I do not dare to ask anymore because long since I have given up on understanding them. However, though incomprehensible, they always have a wonderful outcome compared to our expectations. Here is the wonder that inhabits my heart this morning, as I cross the threshold of the N\u2019Panquinha classroom intended for inclusive school: Dasesia, N\u2019Hala, William and Maia are there, fascinated by the material placed on the table by their \u00a0support teacher, Daniel.<\/p>\n
The project \u201cInclusive School \/WITHOUT ME WHAT SCHOOL IS IT?<\/strong>\u201d was conceived by PIME for the self-managed schools coordinated by the Missionary Sisters of the Immaculate in Guinea Bissau, in the villages of Bissor\u00e3 and Mansoa. The project aims to ensure the inclusion of students with various disabilities, whether physical or psychological, in the school.<\/p>\n Guinea Bissau is a country with a low level of education and insufficient facilities, for the number of students present, and is still one of the countries with the most serious problems in the field of education. In this country, traditions and cultural beliefs are still very much alive and strong, especially with regard to illness or disability. The prejudice and belief that they are signs of\u00a0 “sin” committed by the family, by the mother or even a punishment inflicted by an evil spirit, for which that person is forced to return to such spirit. This sum of beliefs forces the person himself to a prejudiced social life: access to school or to starting work, in fact, are unthinkable goals for the majority of those who were born “labeled” by diversity.<\/p>\n In this Ocean<\/em> of \u200b\u200bprejudices and beliefs, let us try to take some steps in favor of the scholastic integration of children or teenagers who have been denied school for too long, because of their difference from the masses.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
