Parents of children with disabilities should not hide them from the public as such children have rights like everyone else, and are a gift from God.

Queen 'M'aSenate Mohato Bereng Seeiso, donating blankets and clothing to 207 orphans and children with disabilities from different areas of the Qacha's Nek district, on July 11, commended the children's guardians, who she said are doing special work.  They should be strong and dedicated, especially now that government is supporting them.

On behalf of the children, a Form C student of Makhaola High School, Maleshoane Chabana (16) thanked the Queen for sharing what she has with them. The Queen's gifts will boost morale and give them hope in life as it is an act of love.
