Personal Narrative: Vacationing For People With Disabilities

Disney has a variety of diversity-training programs, including programs on generational communications, creating an inclusive environment, disability awareness and inclusion leadership training. Disney works to accommodate guests with disabilities by training cast members, making the latest technology available for visitors, and constantly reviewing policies and procedures that govern park operations. In addition, visitors with disabilities can plan their Disney outing by reviewing a copy of the resort 's Guidebook for Guests with Disabilities (Disney Hollywood Studios, 2012). This booklet provides a detailed overview of the services and facilities available at each park for guests with disabilities, including information about parking, restrooms, auxiliary aids, telephones, transportation facilities, and specific attraction entrance and boarding procedures. There are many rides that allow a guest to remain in a wheelchair while experiencing

Hello everyone! my friend Gabby Aranda along with a small group of us have created a gofundme to raise money to start up a non-profit organization to help women who are in need of health care. After creating the non-profit, which will be called For All Women, we are focusing on raising money for a clinic in Madison called Share the Health which is open about once per month and is a free women's clinic where physicians and residents volunteer their time to treat underprivileged women. Our overall goal is to allow the clinic to be open more often and therefore help more people in need. Click the link to read more about our plans and consider donating! Thanks so much!

At the moment, the organization is planning a scholarship program where Pink Wishes will send one high school student to college who lives in the D.C. area. To be able to fulfill ore wishes, their non-profit group must be able to raise more

This was an eye-opener for us to advocate for public transportation especially the bus to be modified to accommodate persons with physical disability using a wheelchair. A lift or a ramp could be provided for easy boarding of the bus. Additional space

III. “Determine how well the needs of adults with disabilities are being met by the travel industry” (1).

The purpose of this project is to raise money to help fund the educational fees for the mother and father of the family so that they may work towards a more stable life in Canada and to increase awareness in Guelph about the Syrian crisis. GCVI Cares is a charitable school organization that has been sponsoring a Syrian refugee family since the spring of 2016. The Syrian family arrived in Canada in October 2016 and are very grateful to be in Canada. The family is excited to be restarting their lives in Canada but they need a lot of help settling in. The family consists of a mother named Nour, her husband Ahmed and their two children, Hasan and Emel. Hasan is a 7 year old boy who has been diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy and Emel is a 6 month old baby. Back in Syria, Nour and Ahmed were both licensed pharmacists. Currently, Ahmed is working hard to find employment here in Guelph to help support his family while Nour is staying home to help take care of their special needs son and 6 month old baby. For both Nour and Ahmed to get their license here in Canada, it will cost roughly $36,000. In order to help the family through a difficult time, the project wishes to raise money in the Guelph community to help out a family in need. The money donated will go towards Nour and Ahmed’s educational fees and living expenses.

Jennifer and I was contacted by Carol at LifeBound to present again this year at the Second Annual GlobalMind Conference (http://www.globalminded.org). We were able to pay for the trip last year out of our budgets. However, this year we do not have the funding. We did receive a scholarship from GlobalMind that waivered our registration fee. However, we still need funding for travel and lodging. Jennifer will use some funding from her grants to assist with some of her expenses. Unfortuantely, I do not have the any more funds.

The first reason is less, personal, but it has still greatly impacted my view of the world. I recently watched a documentary was called “Off to School”. This film followed children in different parts of the world, including Kenya and India as they journeyed to school. The boy traveling to school in India was in a wheelchair. As he traveled, his brothers pushed him through water, dirt roads and rocky paths. While traveling, his wheelchair broke and the kids had to stop to get it repaired. This greatly impacted me because I thought about how kids that did not have a wheelchair would not be able to get to school as easily. I also about this specific child’s need for a more reliable chair. In this way, I feel the “Free Wheelchair Mission” could help. My second experience was also related to India. Over the summer, when I was in India, there was a boy whose legs were injured. As a result, he was not able to run around and play games with my travel team like the other kids. It was challenging to see one child off to the sidelines, as others were free to just be kids. This particular child did not have a wheelchair, but I feel if given a wheelchair, he would be given the opportunity to live a freer life. It is my hope that kids like the little boy I met in India gain access to resources to help them live a full life. I feel the “Free Wheelchair Mission” has the ability to help countless individuals live life to its

Due to the limited funding from both government and donation, Gala Dinner event is intended to publicize the new service of Rehabilitation Center which is aimed to provide occupational rehabilitation and training for disabled person, and to raise 2.5M HK$ for this Non-government Organization to sustain its new program. We wish Gala Dinner event will make this kind of public-service activities draw more attention and concerns from society, institutions, enterprises and individuals, benefiting more disabled person.

According to Smith(1987), barriers faced by people with disabilities undertaking leisure related travel are identified as: 1)intrinsic barriers, 2) environmental barriers, and 3) interactive barrier. Intrinsic barriers are those resulting from an individual 's own level of physical, cognitive or psychological functioning. Environmental barriers are external to individual like attitudinal barriers,

Preparing for this trip was time consuming. We had to dedicate all our free time this summer to setting up fundraisers. The trip was $510 per person. Our fundraising consisted of selling Pastry Puffins, bake sales, and 50/50 tickets. Also there were people who would donate so they could get a free pancake breakfast out of the deal.

I should create fundraising events to go door to door of different interest groups and business organization having similar political affiliation.
