OVERVIEW

Description

According to researches 80 percent of people consider that the disabled are unhappy, unsuccessful and anti social.

But in reality the disabled are the same as ordinary people. They are as happy, successful and social as normal people. Unicef, wanted to change this perception. Because we have a lot in common with disabled. We share the same habits, same tastes and same hobbies. More importantly we share the same names. We used "names" to persuade people to meet the disabled. We found thousands of disabled kids who share the same name with ordinary people. Disabled kids wrote letters to their other versions to meet them. The letters have sent to 5.700 people all around Turkey.

People started to meet independently. Approximately 2.500 receipent's accept to met with their other versions and spent more than 2.000 hours together.
