Carlos is back
It has been a long time since my lat post. I have been bussy fulfilling
my duties as the National Director of the National Foundation for
Disabilities (Fonadis) a governmental agency. I have visited almost the
whole country, working hard with every regional government and with
every governmental agency.
I had meetings with more than 5,000 people with disabilities. I am
working on modernizing Fonadis, meeting PwD's needs, building a barrier
free society.
Now we are getting ready for the first latin american decade of PwD.
I will send pictures soon.

Dear Carlos san
Welcome back!
I was very much worried about you since we haven't received any news from you for quite some time. But now I was delighted to know you had meetings with more than 5000 people with disabilities all over Chile.
I agree with you that it is essential to hear people's voice if you would like to make good policies and measures.
I present you today one of my favorite poems to congratulate you.
SUNSHINE AND MUSIC
A laugh is just like sunshine.
It freshens all the day,
It tips the peak of life with light
And drives the clouds away.
The soul grows glad that hears it
And feels its courage strong.
A laugh is just like sunshine
For cheering folks along.
A laugh is just like music.
It lingers in the heart,
And where its melody is heard
The ills of life depart;
And happy thoughts come crowding,
Its joyful notes to greet:
A laugh is just like music
For making living sweet.

I remember you were always laughing with your jica friends at TIC and I am sure all persons with disabilities in Chile will be encouraged and empowered with your smile.
