Its objectives are to advocate and lobby on issues of the disabled, to create awareness on disability issues, to share information for the benefit of the disabled and to network with like minded organizations for the welfare of the disabled in Goa. World Disabled Day is on 3rd December, 2007. We are organizing World Disabled Day on Saturday, 1st December, 2007 at Azad Maidan, Panjim. The programme will consist of a disability awareness walk for normal school students in the morning and a variety entertainment programme in the evening which will consist of live music, magic show, dances by disabled children, movie on the rights of disabled and a Konkani musical programme. There will also be an exhibition cum sale of products made by the disabled in the various schools for the disabled in Goa. The total audience targeted is 1,000 people. It is for the first time in Goa that such a programme is being organized on World Disabled Day. Hence we have called it 'World Disabled Day with a difference'. The total cost of the programme is estimated at Rs. 1,70,000/- which includes rent, transport of disabled people, publicity, refreshments, etc. Contact me for more details at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
