Malaysia 2013 Celebrating Abilities of Children with Disabilities : Colours of My World

Coloiur of My World was launched in conjunction with the 5th anniversary of the Convention of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (  CRPD ) on 8th May 2013 to encourage greater public understanding, acceptance and inclusion for children with disabilities.

Organised by Kakikreatif, Pos Malaysia and UNICEF, the Colour of My World art contest received original masterpieces from some 120 children between the ages of 13 and 17 in Malaysia, diagnosed with a physical, sensory or developmental disability.

Colours of My World is an eye opening way of seeing the world through the eyes of children with disabilities.  It is also a critical reminder that what is most important are the abilities that defines these children – not their disabilities.

The winning entries for each of the three categories form a set of special commemorative stamps and first day cover to celebrate Universal Children’s Day 213 on 20th November.  Each winner also receives a cash award of RM10,000 from Pos Malaysia.
