Teacher helping Rukhsana with her schoolwork
Rukhsana is a physically disabled girl from Dinajpur in Bangladesh. She was ostracised by her family for being born disabled, and her mother was blamed for her lack of development.
When she turned five, she started to attend a Plan supported clinic for the physically challenged. The efforts of the health workers turned her life around. With regular exercise she learned to sit, stand, eat and write. She has since been accepted into school.
