By PETER HELATANO RUKWA, Sumbawanga

Some community members still have the challenge of continuing to hide children with special needs for fear of being ridiculed by their peers or for fear of being exposed to superstitious practices as community members have long believed that having a child with a disability is a mistake or a curse. But these children are gaining favor through various organizations such as FPCT and ICD who have been at the forefront of ensuring that children with special needs get their basic needs such as access to education and not just education but inclusive education that will make them feel good due to its satisfactory infrastructure. Sumbawanga Street, locals and civil society organizations formed by FPCT have once again succeeded in raising AWESHA MBOTO. Crawl. In an interview with the child she really wants to go to school to socialize with other children as she believes the situation will make her happy when she will be with different colleagues and be alone at home and end up just sitting but also a wheelchair support to enable him to go to one place and another. completely but through the home environment and the neighbors around him he has learned to count and name some objects by name as you will show him. HADIJA MBOTO is her sister who lives with her in her husband's house claiming her mother has died for a long time so she lacks a way to help the child and instead ends up just looking for food but other services like school she failed where to start due to fear of being laughed at and surprised by the people around him thus ending up hiding him inside just around their house.   FPCT and ICD visited him they were touched by the child's challenge and promised to give him cooperation to ensure she feels happy and send her  to school and later to fulfill some of her dreams.
