Ok so the troubling question that is to blame for the proposed function is 'What does the world really need?' Bloggers from around the world commented on the question. One that stood out from the rest was a comment left by what seem to be a primary school teacher who call herself Ms RuRu. The comment read as follow: ' The world needs good parents in school systems. That is were leaders are made.' (RuRu 2009:1)
The comment took the wits of the designer on a journey. Many children experience difficulties that without help or treatment impair personal abilities. Intellectual and physical disabilities limit the human body from doing what is desired and dreamt.
Once again I realised how privileged we as designers are. We have the ability to create reality from a dream. A dream that might change the lives of others.
I will therefore dedicate the year 2010 to design a centre that creates opportunities to children with the disabilities to address and eliminate the problems experienced.
May the designer apply the skills and opportunities granted to her to help those who are not able, to be able to.
