Less than three months ago, I started a blog of my own focused on disability, poverty, human rights, and other development issues in developing countries. The We Can Do blog is located at <a href="http://wecando.wordpress.com" rel="nofollow">http://wecando.wordpress.com</a>. I hope you will explore it and perhaps find some information of interest. I have now added your site to the "blog roll" at We Can Do (see the right hand navigation bar, or at the very bottom of the page at We Can Do). If you intend to post a blogroll of your own I hope you will consider adding a link to We Can Do. (If you are still learning how wordpress works, let me know and maybe I can help a little. I'm no techy expert, but I've picked up a few of the minimal basics along the way.) Thanks. I just recently came across your blog site here, thanks to the attentions of Ghulam Nabi Nazimani.

I am 45, a paraplegic person, and Coordinator of Association for the Welfare of the Disabled People AWDP). I highly felicitate APNIL for its right initiative at the right time. Though disability movement has made a good advancement in the field of awareness, advocacy, policy guidelines, coordination and networking but still there were some avenues to intervene. Independent Living is one among those avenues, especially for elderly people with disabilities and mentally retarded persons of this region. In Bangladesh it is badly needed. In 1997 we had started a small center for mebtally retared children as `AWDP Educare Center'. We got a good response but couldn't contue the center because of funding constraints. We are very much interested to be associated with you and keen to implement any of your efforts in Bangladesh. Md.
