Earlier in my childhood I had mental stigma about Mongolian kids, like weak eyes, slowness in actions. Then later on I took Psychology subject as main subject in my college days. I read alot about mental dieasess, we also visited many specials schools, attended seminars. And I found that these kids were also talented in any one of the field, such as handicrafts preparing wax candles etc. I got to know about concerns of the parents and agreed that these kids should be looked as normal kids not as any disabled kid, they also have equal chance to live in this world. If we start looking as them like normal ones, they are equally loveable. And in this way if we spread awareness about unblocking mids of people we may be sucessfull in creating a better world for them
