I am happy to see this website still operating
I am happy to see the website still operating and that people are posting information on their countries. I would like to add my bit as well :)
Guyana is in the process of Persons with Disability Act and I have the privilege of coordinating the activities towards its completion and beyond. Not an enviable position to be in. It’s a visible job and I've to ensure it’s done correctly. The upside is that I work in the Secretariat of the National Commission on Disability and get the opportunity to liaison with other stakeholders garnering feedback on their needs. This report is presented to the President of Guyana’s office and hopefully gets attention towards progress towards the independent drive for persons with disabilities.
Two pieces of important activities - the revision of the UN Standard Rule and the passing of the Decade of Persons with Disabilities put forward by Peru at the Organisations of American States Conference earlier this year- I look forward to working with the members of the Class of 1999 who are in this region to make this venture a resounding success.

My Dear People,
I think that JICA is doing a very good work which needs praise.I was lucky to be part of JICA programme last year.It ended very well, but When I came to my home Country the members thought that Jica had given me money to be shared for them.so we need to educate our people to understand what Jica is doing.I also suggest that the time period is short for the programme, if possible it should be extended for about six months.
I also plead with Jica to mobilize resource to find for projects people have started in their home country.And also speed up process to help the us.
Keep to your good work
