Documents on the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities
Firstly, congratulations on forming your group!
I have two general resources which may be useful to you:
1) An easy to read version of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. This document has been written for adults with learning disabilities and also for children but I think it will also be useful for people who do not use English as their first language. It gives a very general idea of what rights are in the convention.

2) A handbook for campaigners who are interested in getting their governments to make the rights in the convention a reality in their countries. It gives ideas on how to start a campaign, how to involve the media and how to work with other groups.

Good luck, I wish you lots of success in your work.
