<p class="MsoNormal">Greetings from the Pacific Disability Forum!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I sincerely hope that all is well and that everything is running smoothly within your own DPO offices.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For PDF, we are on to our 30<sup>th</sup> day into our new financial year which runs from July 2018 - June 2019. As PDF moves forward, we still believe that sharing of our stories and what we have been through in an inaccessible environment
is vital. Thus stories shared will empower others, thus creating a rippling effect to policy makers, donors and partners. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thus with that in mind, I would like to request all DPO managers and officers on weekly updates or stories from your various DPOs; this could be what you have done, or what you are planning to do or updates from workshops or meetings
that your DPOs were a part of; case studies or opinions that you want to share.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please do send 2 – 3 pictures with your stories or updates and please also add captions to the pictures.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">All stories are to reach me before closer of business every Thursday. It should come out every Monday beginning 6<sup>th</sup> August 2018 and so forth.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I sincerely hope to hear from your DPOs soon.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Have a blessed week.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
