The Right to Live Association (RTLA) was
founded in 1981. Please relocate your feelings to that era to be able to
correctly weigh the effort. intellectually disabled children and their families
were hardly, if ever accepted, incorporated in the Egyptian society. A mental
'case' should be left at home and even more, unfortunately, sometimes denied
existence…. Yes, these were actual feelings of the time. When some parents
got together to communicate their burden and "half their sorrow by
sharing", none of them ever dreamt that these kids will one day be granted
the "RIGHT TO LIVE" they enjoy today!

Why the BLUE ROSE???? |
|
|
The idea of using the Blue Rose as a logo sprung from a book, read by one
of the founders, written by Gerda Klein back in the 1970s titled "The Blue
Rose" which is the story of little Jenny…
The story goes on with the day in day out of lived details of handicapped
children in simple, down to earth, language; highlighting that because there
are so few blue roses, we don't know much about them; same with handicapped
persons we don't meet them often but they exist and need to be "Handled
with Care".
