World Disability Day 2008 is on: www.wdd.co.in
3rd December 2008 is World Disability Day. It is an important day for the 70 million people with disabilities in India as well as so many more all over the world. Some progress has been made in the area of disability in India in the last few years especially in the last 1 year. India ratified the United Nations Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities and also the XIth Five year plan has included Disability for the first time in the History of India. However, talking about it and implementing it are two completely different things. NO steps have been taken by the Government of India to implement them. Even the basic rights of education, employment and access are not available to people with disability. So why should we celebrate World Disability Day at all? Do you want to do something about it? Please visit www.wdd.co.in to know more about how you can help. We are also on Facebook Causes: Inviting you and your friends to join a cause. Please visit this cause: http://apps. For more information, please visit: www.wdd.co.in With Warm Regards, Rama Chari
