What's disability to me?
The World Health Organization (WHO) produced a series of videos about people with disabilities. Each film relates to a different chapter of the World report on disability, launched on 9 June 2011 in New York. Blind aboriginal musician Geoffrey Yunupingu Gurrumul has supplied the soundtrack to the first four films.
WHO states "Hearing directly from people with disabilities about their lives is vital to good research and effective policy."
Please take a few minutes to meet Rachael, a nurse with disability from the United Kingdom. She shares the obstacles she has overcome in her career.

Rachael asks, "What is disability to you"?
Please share your response to Rachael's question.
With thanks,
Donna
