Happy New year!

Does these two words have something unusual? Not at first sight, but in the collective memory - yes. The Word exists since God knows when, but the time saving began a few thousand years ago. In the area of ​​Mesopotamia several advanced civilizations have practiced it with accuracy which is amazing even today. Since then, every December 31st ends the old and the new year begins. Current time counting dates from 3-4 century AD and the practice of old and new calendar (Gregorian and Julian) started to be associated with the birthday of Jesus (Christmas), and the so-called executive became Santa Claus that epitomizes the famous benefactor 3-4 century AD - St. Nicholas, who later became a saint. Practically from the late 18th or early 19th century shaped the idea that Santa Claus is St. Nicholas, but the actual values ​​obtained in the 20th century.
Santa is special because he brings gifts to children and people with disabilities or disabled. But Santa can not see and hear all who need help. Therefore it is necessary to act together. We can group our needs, aspirations and desires that come to those who decide and if not much, little by little they will learn about the environment. And we, those who want  our needs, aspirations and desires to be met, only if we are organized and together we will reach our common goal - realization of all rights contained in the UN Convention on Persons with Disabilities. If Santa Claus has its fairies and elves, flying sleigh pulled by reindeers, we have our organizations who care and work our missions grouped and directed to the right place. With these words, we wish a Happy New Year to all citizens, people with disabilities, our friends and supporters. To achieve at least a bit of our dreams with faith, hope and love.
