Support disabled education in Africa

History was made in Friends Of The Disabled (FOTD) Centre on the 4th of September, when Miss Black Britain Visited FOTD Vocational Skill Centre as part of her activities in Nigeria during her visit.She was greeted with a special dance from the hearing and speech impaired females. After going round the sections, she was convienced that impairment is not a disability except where and when the appropriate intervention is not given by the family and the society at large.She had the opportunity to take away gifts,the products from the Tailoring and Bead Sections as evidence of their resourcefullness.She also was given a Plaque for remembrance and continuity of relationship.
