[PDFlist] 7th Pacific Regional Conference on Disability Registration drive

[Casper Joseph Fa'asala]

Bula Paradise,

Belated Happy New Year.

Acknowledge receipt of all information regarding the 27th PDF Conference.

In the Solomon Islands, the Office of the Immigration has been
bombarded each day with Seasonal Workers Application and that some of
us for normal renewal of passports are affected.

We may seek to travel on a Travelling Document for the Conference.

Kind regards

Casper J. Fa'asala
CEO/PWDSI
