I’m Lebogang. I have Cerebral Palsy and live in Kuruman, South Africa. I am Deputy Chairman of a disabled people’s organisation. I wrote this story in Word with my laptop. I use the Grid software program on my computer to talk to strangers and to do speeches.

COMMUNICATION DEVICE

What is life without you?
Oh technology I love you very much
Because you have made me progress

Cos I am disabled guy
And I cant do anything for myself
That is why I thank you communication device

I am struggling to make my voice heard
I cant speak properly that is why I use you.
Oh technology, what is life without you!
I extrominate*.  I write with my communication device, without it I make no friends
No one helps me like you do.
