Dear Mr. Seevanh XAYKIA and Jicafriends
Dear Mr. Seevanh XAYKIA and Jicafriends,
I am very very happy to read the message from Mr. Seevanh XAYKIA.
This is because of my personal reason that he is sincerely taking up my dream.
About 2 weeks ago, I had a chance to visit his IT trainging center and discuss about how to proceed the IT traing for the blind people in Laos.
He is very kind and generous to understand the importance of production of the braille textbooks. The braille text books are, needless to say, absolutely necessary for the blind people to receive education.
I visited the school for the blind in NRC and looked at the braille books at the library. I was really surprised and schocked to see the old braillebooks. Some braille dots in many pages are torn off and useless any more.
I believe that production of braille books can be smoothly carried out bymaking the best use of conputer.
After coming back to Japan, I am really surprised to know that his IT team provide a scholarship for people with visual impaired to training for six month about basic computer and how to connect to
internet. This is, I feel, an epock-making revolution in the blind world in Laos.
I sincerely hope the IT workshop can be carried out successfully.

For your solidarity of the pressure movement.
After the restoration of the democracy in Nepal, parliament and the
government are formed. The government brought the annual policy and programs
of the country and also announced the annual budget. The newly formed
government has announced the issues of different groups and communities but
did not address single issue of persons with disabilities so far. The
government also made 15 member interim constitution draft committee
including all the groups and regions but did not bring the single member
from the disability sector. So it proves that the interim constitution draft
committee will also not bring and address any issues of persons with
disabilities.
Therefore, the Independent Living Center Katmandu decided to run the
pressure movement from today demanding for the representation of the
disabled in the interim statue drafting panel and constituent assembly to
address the disabled rights and adopt disabled friendly policies to protect
and promote the participation in the state mechanism.
In the first day of the program, the personalities from the different
organizations, civil societies, human right activists have put their
solidarity for the program. This program is co -jointly organized by the IL
Center and other various types of disable people organizations. This
pressure program will continue until the fulfillment of the demand.
Sincerely Your's
Ganesh KC

What I learnt in Japan
Dear Friends,
The best thing I learnt from Japanese culture is the value of team work.
I tryed to use all knowledge I got not only in my follow up project (National Independent Living Center). I used them all doing my job as the person in charge of the Municipal PwD's affairs office in Algarrobo Town.
As you know, we held a national conference this month.
So I send you pictures of a ceremony we did for our 100 volunteers, they are people from Algarrobo, they worked from 7 am to 12 pm just because they had a commitment with PwD, they are real heroes.
