Polio Plus

The Count Monte Christ among us

The association Polio Plus - post polio group for support" in cooperation with "Handicap International" marked the 3 December - the Handicapped Day in a most original way - placing a metal cage at the entrance of the Trade Center in Skopje. The allusion on the Count Monte Christ imprisonment, which was part of the street theater organized by "Polio Plus", was intended to remind the citizens, as well as the authorities that handicapped people are doomed to live in a cage created by the society's lack of care. The architectonic barriers are only one of the many rails on that cage.

At this manifestation, the international organization "Handicap International" promoted the project "Self-Assistance" that will be implemented in partnership with "Polio Plus" in the next three years, the goal of which is to animate the public about the problems that our handicapped co-citizens face every day.
