Report from Carlos-Chile
Dear Jica friends:
Friday the 25th was a great day for inclusive rebuilding efforts in Chile. The Social Inclusion and Disability Commission of Universidad Austral de Chile and the National Planning Ministry held a successful meeting.
The Government analyzed the University’s proposal on how to rebuild Chile with universal design, improving disaster relief aids including people with disabilities needs, and to look for financial sources.
Later this day, we start collaborating with the National Disability Service (a service subordinated to the National Planning Ministery). All efforts and help are truly needed. We estimate 80,000 People with disabilities lost everything in the disaster.
March the 31th an important meeting will be held to coordinate disaster relief aids on field.
