The week of activities for the celebration of International Day of Persons with Disabilities included the launching of a bumper sticker drive on Monday morning at the Ptolemy Reid Rehabilitation Centre in Georgetown.
According to National Commission on Disability (NCD) Advocacy and Communication Officer, Avonel Corrica, the launch was a collaboration among the NCD and the Ministry of Governance and Parliamentary Affairs and others. She said that the purpose of the bumper stickers is to kick off awareness of the day with other activities leading up to December 3 under the theme, “Transformative solutions for inclusive development: the role of innovation in fuelling an accessible and equitable world.”
Each bumper sticker, she explained, has a message pertaining to persons with disabilities. It also features the colour purple as well as the sunflower.
