Project is progressing in Bhutan
I visited Bhutan last week and met two former participants of Vocational Rehab. Course.
Ms. Jigme WANGMO, participant of Vocational Rehab. course 2005, is the founder of Drak-Tsho Vocational Training Center for Disabled (DVTCD), which is the first of its kind in Bhutan.
After returning to Bhutan, she had struggling to realize her action plan, "Supporting Disabled People for Open Employment" where she planned to start a bakery for persons with intellectual disabilities in Thimphu, the capital city.
Ms. Wangmo applied to JICA volunteer and a JICA senior volunteer was dispatched to DVTCD from January 2008.
Now her project of Bakery for persons with intellectual disabilities got started.
Ms. Tshering LHAMO is a textile trainer of DVTCD. She also participated in the Vocational Rehab. course in 2007. She is also working hard together with Ms. Wangmo.
We look forward to knowing more about the progress of their projects.

Congratulations Jigme & Tshering, keep up the great work. In Papua New Guinea it has also been quite frustrating but I am optimistic that our efforts will soon bear fruit. Reading about your success is a source of motivation for me.
