Pro Bono Work I did for a Cause #TheWheelchairChallenge
ORIGINAL CONTENT THAT CAME TO ME
The Wheelchair Challenge
Get on a wheelchair and spend some time - go to work or to the gym, train on a wheelchair or play a game. Or go to a restaurant or cinemas or market place or spend time just in the comforts of your home. Make sure you visit the washroom on a wheelchair.
Don't get off the wheelchair till the challenge is over. It's OK to take help when you hit a barrier (flight of stairs, thresholds, narrow doors) but pause and reflect how it would be if you have to face those barriers for a lifetime.
Pause and reflect on the experience.
Post a video - time lapse is great!
Each of you is in a position of influence. Help fix the most difficult barrier you came across.
Make the world inclusive! Keep it going, share and challenge others.
MY VERSION OF THE CONTENT
THE WHEELCHAIR CHALLENGE
Have you EVER spent time
SITTING IN A WHEELCHAIR?
Starting today,
spend your time
Doing what some people
Do all their lives
Get on a wheelchair
And use it to do
What you take for granted
Your whole life through
-Go to the gym,
-Play a game,
-Visit a restaurant, the cinema,
-Or the marketplace.
Why? Even sit in your house
And do nothing but laze.
Don’t forget to go to the washroom,
For that’s a major ‘everyday, thing, too!
Don't get off the wheelchair
Till the #CHALLENGE is through
It's ok to take help when you hit a barrier
- a flight of stairs, thresholds, or narrow doors,
But pause and reflect how it would be
If you have to face those barriers eternally.
Think and reflect on the experience.
POST A VIDEO – ‘time-lapse’ would be excellent

It’s not enough to sit back and think
That everything’s fine; it’s not.
KEEP IT GOING; SHARE AND CHALLENGE OTHERS!
Give it everything you’ve got!
THE FINAL VERSION THAT WENT OUT
Get on a wheelchair, use it to do,
What you take for granted, your whole life thru’
Go to the gym or play a game
Perhaps, visit a restaurant of no fame

But wherever you go, don't forget the loo,
For that’s a major everyday, thing, too!

Take help when you hit the stairs or narrow doors,
But pause and reflect how it stops our ‘everyday’ chores
Don't get off the wheelchair, till the #challenge is through
‘Cos that's something we can't, even if we want
