How did parents of children with developmental disabilities come up with an idea to grow fruits and vegetables, and use this as a way to secure future for their kids?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Association \u201cEvo ruka\u201d was established in 2011 by parents of children with disabilities in order to improve quality of life for their children and secure their future.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201eWe have to wear our children as medals, not as burden. Then others will see them that way, too\u201c, said Ana Kne\u017eevi\u0107, the President of the Association \u201cEvo ruka\u201d. In 2015, the Association initiated production of food in greenhouses and as of this year they also started the production of pickles, chutney and other food products for winter from fruits and vegetables they have grown.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013 As a mother of a child with multiple disabilities, after twelve years of my experience, I can only advise parents to accept their children, their diagnosis and accept their own lives \u2013 says our interlocutor. She added that most important is to bring your child to health balance, and then socialize them, too.<\/span>[image_with_animation image_url=”6400″ image_size=”full” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”center” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”]<\/p>\n

Where did the idea to establish the Association come from?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

– Idea behind this activity was to ensure that we and our children have a job, source of income and to make revenues to pay for services in the community for children with disabilities This agricultural project and \u201cZasad za budu\u0107nost (Planting for the future)\u201d programme opened an entirely new perspective for actions and forward look.<\/span><\/p>\n

We are no longer just plain social support recipients, but we do things which are important for the community where we live, for Zemun. Through the project we give direct support to children and their parents, we promote business, development of social entrepreneurship, we motivate women to start their entrepreneurship with strong mission, we give ideas to other parents and organisations all over Serbia \u2013 says our interlocutor.<\/span><\/p>\n

As she says, through their work they want to reach the stage of service called \u201cIndependent life for our children\u201d as this would be completion of the whole story and allow the children to really continue with their independent life. The President of the Association \u201cEvo ruka\u201d is sending a message that persons with disabilities are not invisible and points out how important it is that they are aware of themselves as this allows others to see them, too. And others want to hear them, too, but it is important what kind of the message they will send.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013 When you have a problem to enroll your child in school or kindergarden, you remember that your child is entitled to education. Always think well what is in the best interest of your child and fight for that. Do not turn your head away from other parents of children with disabilities and do not cluster by different diagnosis. Mothers of children with autism, cerebral palsy, DiGeorge syndrome or intellectual difficulties share same problems.\u00a0 They are all concerned for their children and they have same tears and fears \u2013 says Kne\u017eevi\u0107 in the conclusion.<\/span>[image_with_animation image_url=”6399″ image_size=”full” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”center” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”]<\/p>\n

Purchase of \u201cEvo ruka\u201d products<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u2013 We talk a lot about affirmation and positive approach and it often happens that people misunderstand out attitude and think that we can cope with all problems. It is not always easy.<\/span><\/p>\n

We need financial support, donations, projects and volunteers to bring this fantastic story to an end and to be able to help to as many people as possible. Great assistance for us comes from purchase of \u201cEvo ruka\u201d products, donations, volunteering, organizing tournaments or parties for our children and our association. Help us the way you can, and you can always donate to our bank account 205-168077-63, buy our pickles and chutneys via \u201cEvo ruka\u201d Facebook or Instagram page, or via phone number 062-327-877 \u2013 Kne\u017eevi\u0107 sends the message.<\/span><\/p>\n
