Report from Kassiyet san-Kazakhistan (July 4, 2010)
Dear jicafriends,
How are You?
Here is some news about our activities. We've got 2 very nice accessible buses for 11 & 5 places from "Sabi" Charity foundation and Association of disabled people of Almaty. They provide us with drivers and fuel also. So we can start excursions from 11 of July every Saturday-Sunday till 11 of September.
The Big Round Table and the Press-conference will be at July, 14. There we can tell about starting of our project. There will be many journalists.
We are preparing guide books with photos, Braille guide books with tactile pictures and web-site. For some attractions we should prepare the movable rumps.
Interesting, but we are still working as volunteers and our volunteering team and net work of different organizations are widening. We could find just 2 thousands dollars. Because investors think that tourism is not so necessary. But we’re going to prove opposite by our project.
So now we have very hot time.

Hi Kasia,
I am extremely proud of the work that you are doing for pwds in Kazakstan. I know as you continue those who think tourism is not important for pwds will begin to think differently. Keep up the great work. Inclusion is KEY!!
We will help JICA shout to the world until everybody knows that persons with disabilities can make a difference!! Proud of you my friend!!
Love you!!
