In Burkina Faso as everywhere worldwide, there are many challenges about inclusiveness. Getting "differently abled

are steadily working to get inclusiveness done.

While in some regions worldwide people have no more to worry about Food Security, in some other ones, it is unfortunately not the same reality. There are ceaselessly worries in terms of Food Security. They have to struggle hard to get needs met. In some worse cases, some died. But No Food Security, No Sustainable Development.
Climate Change Is a Big Threat To Earth And Consequently To Human-Beings. It is Deadly Causing Floodings, Wildfires, Droughts, Earthquakes, Volcanos Around The World And Obviously Forcing People Migrations. It Is Undoubtely Clear That Climate Change Has More Endangered Earth Than Never Before. But Human-Being Has Provoked It Through His Ceaseless Agression of Mother Nature. Now He Has to Stand up and Figure It Out In Order to Mitigate The Increasing Danger. Climate Change has neither been a story nor a comedy. It's a mad reality.

The vision of Tiki N'Yiki is promoted by Gabriel, a physical disabled person from Burkina Faso, a West African country. He attended his college degree
at Bassy high school in Ziniaré
and then at Newton
Descartes high school in Ouagadougou.
He holds a Patent of Undergraduate Studies (P.U.S) called B.E.P.C [Brevet d'Etude du Premier Cycle].
As a fervent defender of Disability Rights, Gabriel has known that he has to stand up and do something to help change the mentalities about disability. He get involved within activities to promote disablity and corollary matters by implementing his ideas into practical realisations that can positively change lives of disabled people. He pioneered to create the Centre PAAS NEERE for EDUCATION in Ziniaré in order to alphabetize disabled adults people in August 2006. Ideas are sometimes common even complexe and deep-thinking, but those that are frontally linked to disability and rights, are main subjects of interest for Gabriel.
The need to get results in terms of social impacts through communities where disabled people are living, was a huge fuel and has sharpened the dynamism of Gabriel and anchored a certain confidence of his Switzerland partners. His desire to make better lives for disabled people especially disabled and orphaned children through his project to improve education galvanized supporters in Burkina Faso and in EUrope.
It is a way to promote, defend and protect disabled people and the rights belonging to them. The legacies many disabled people fought for, including activists who won some basic rights like to get educated should be protected.
In 2006 ... Gabriel was one of the founding fathers of PAAS NEERE, an educational organisation
in which he taught disabled and orphaned children but also led several awareness sessions with a focal theme: “Disability and Social Inclusion”.
In 2007, 2008, 2013, Gabriel has toured Europe in order to promote PAAS NEERE and fundraise money for his projects including to improve education and provide reasonable health care services to disabled people in need. His stays (trips) led him not only to Switzerland like in Geneva, Sion, Delemont, and Vendlincourt through an impactful collaboration of patners and a network of friends, founding members of
Transport Handicap in the canton of Valais but also in Germany at Rasttat and Kuppenheim in the lander of Bade-Wurtemberg [Baden-Württemberg] where he host a serie of conferences about PAAS NEERE the organisation of which he was president.
On december 11th, 2012 Gabriel was awarded as " Knight of the Order of Merit " by his country, Burkina Faso for his entire contribution and engagement in terms of being able to create, propel and maintain an inclusive environment for vulnerable people. Disabled and orphaned children are benefiting of his master-piece and the centre Paas Neere is like an harbor for them to get better lives through education.
In 2016 he created Tiki N'Yiki to expand more support for orphaned and marginalized children. On July 14, 2016, Gabriel was invited by generous friends to the United States of America for four (4) months to not only networking but also to selling his artworks [Paintings & Batiks] and fundraise money for projects.
From East Coast [ New York City-NY, Boston-MA, Appleton-ME, Burlington & St Johnsbury-VT] to West Coast [ Portland-OR, Olympia-WA] of the United States of America, with a huge support of friends, Gabriel was not only able
to present his vision-project of Tiki N'Yiki during festivals and/or fairs but also talked in person with some people about realities of what it means to be disabled in his country, Burkina Faso given some exclusive mentalities and existential discriminations. As future perspectives, his idea is to build a wider network of collaborators and partners gathered around a foundation to work hard, achieve projects, support empowerment and social inclusion for disabled people.
In 2017, unfortunately for security reasons, Gabriel has left his country to fly to Canada . In fact, some of Tiki N'Yiki activities, including EDUCATION, awareness on disability, have been temporarily stopped but will be redefined if the conditions of security are met.
He is rebuilding a new life but with a ceaseless desire to not give up his vision of Tiki Yiki. Among other things, he is writting his memoirs, learning to code while hoping to attend Informations and Technologies studies. He is passionate on programming and is developing this website to let well-known his vision.
Gabriel likes family, nature, photography, philosophy, painting, coding, history, geography, architecture, cyclism, European soccer and hockey on ice.
I am giving lots thanks to those people who believed to my projects and ceaselessly supported them
Je remercie beaucoup tous ces gens qui ont cru à mes projets et les ont soutenus sans cesse
