The OKU Sentral Concert

Over the week I had the opportunity to attend a charity concert by people with disabilities, and when my patient initially invited me to go, I agreed without much thought.

I thought it would be a small production of modest proportions – but I realized how wrong I was the moment that I stepped in to the gorgeous backdrop of silver trees and purple lights, like a magical mystical forest of sorts. 

Ras Adiba and her friends from their NGO OkuSentral put on a wonderful show that had most of us standing on our feet and dancing along with them by the end of the night. From the hearing impaired tap dancers, to the physically disabled singers and the wheelchair dancers, to the smiling enthusiastic dancers from the Down Syndrome association, it was such a fantastic night – I would have happily paid for a production of that caliber. 


Each individual that was involved in the production had some sort of disability, be in mental or physical, and yet they were able to rise above their disabilities and still give back with the community in such a spectacular fashion. 

It just goes to show that disability doesn’t always have to hold you back. Never give up!

Kudos to the team behind the production, it was spectacular!

With Madam Ras Adiba and my specialists from HRC!
