letter from Veronica Rodríguez and two pictures -Veronica Rodríguez
Dear jicafriends,
It’s amazing how fast time goes by.
Two days ago, November 2, which is a special day in Mexico
because we celebrate “DIA DE MUERTOS” (DAY OF THE DEAD),
Jose and I were watching TV and there was a programme about
Hiroshima.
Our hearts and minds flew back a year to this beautiful city
we visited during our training course, and where this year’s
participants are now!
What an experience it was!
You may have noticed I wrote “we”.
That’s because last year was the first time JICA accepted
a disabled participant with an assistant.
It wasn’t easy and JICA only covered my expenses; but it was
worth it.
A few weeks ago I received wonderful news: JICA officially
decided to accept disabled persons with an assistant if he/she
requires so.
I think this is great, another step ahead. I feel very honoured
that Jose and I, in a way, were able to be part of this decision.
Now it’s in your hands to take advantage of this new opportunity!
Our best wishes for all.
Love,
Veronica

Dear Veronica
Thank you for your message. JICA participants visited Hiroshima this week and we all had unforgettable experience. We'll update the training report on the web very soon.
