The Meaning of "WORKING QUADS"
ただ、「働く」という意味を広く「障害と戦い、生活を改善し、自
立に向けて一歩でも近づく」というふうに解すれば、WORKING
QUADSの執筆者は皆働いていると言って良いのかも知れません。
社会人として完全に自立するという目標ははるかに遠いものかもし
れませんが、その目標に一歩でも近づくよう研鑽に励む場が
WORKING QUADSだと思います。
健常者も遠慮なく交流できる場になればいいと願っています。
It is very difficult for persons with severe disabilities like
quadriplegics to get a job even today. Nevertheles there are some quads
here in Japan who are really working and live on their income. Their cases
have been presented in WORKING QUADS.
If you interpret working broadly it means fighting against one's own
disability and making life a little more tolerable. In this sense the
writers of WORKING QUADS are working.
Although it might look nearly impossible for us to live independently ,
especially accounting for the poor standards of welfare in Japan, we ask
all the people interested including non-dinsabled persons to come together
at WORKING QUADS and make the impossible dream come true!
