My sister Els Das is an Amsterdam woman of 64 with a disability. She is active and loves to paint. She is a jewel for the city!
Els first went to an ordinary kindergarten. Later she went to an elementary school for people with disabilities, there were nice teachers. When Els was 18, she went to a day care center in Diemen, where she had a wonderful time. She made candles in a group, which she really enjoyed doing. My mother was a member of the kinship council and I later became one. Since 2002 she has lived in a home with other people with disabilities. There are nice supervisors there, who take good care of her, etc.
With my brothers, sister, other relatives and friends, we are still actively involved in her life. And that is nice.
Heartfelt greetings,
Tatjana Das
