00:00In times gone by, many persons after leaving school ended up in a workshop for the blind
00:06where they make baskets, cane chairs, and that kind of stuff.
00:10And it is not a bad thing.
00:13But now that we have the opportunity for advancing our education skills, we have the opportunity
00:18to show that we too can take our rightful place in the society.
00:23Mr. Bassad said there is still a mountain to climb in having the acceptance of persons
00:28with disabilities in the workplace.
00:31We too can hold on a job like anybody else.
00:36But it takes a lot of hard work because as administrators, we have to keep convincing
00:42people that don't look at the disability, look at the ability.
00:47PAVI has been given the opportunity to distribute laptops in Trinidad and Tobago to students
00:53and adults via a 2023 IDB project.
00:57One of the two recipients is a student of Mason Hall Secondary School.
01:02Devani Thomas expressed thanks for the donation.
01:06On behalf of me and my brother, I just want to say thank you for your contribution to
01:13this laptop, these two laptops.
01:17So I just want to say thank you very much and I really appreciate it.
