  • Looking at Disability-Inclusive Development

    I enjoyed the session that discussed the inclusiveness of persons with disability (PWDs) & its implications on the concept of poverty. Big ‘thank you’ to all speakers (eg from Fiji, Pacific Islands, Thailand etc) who gave very personal accounts of their experiences with PWDs. You’ve made a difference to listeners far beyond attendees of the conference. Thanks!
