MR: ABID LASHARI President NDF-Nawabshah.
Mr. Abid Lashari said in his key-note speech that it is great honor for NDF that a foreign delegation led by Ms. Judy has graced this occasion. it is first time in the history of Sindh that any foreign delegation has ever visited disabled organization in rural areas of Sindh. While number of delegations visit Islamabad Lahore and big cities of Pakistan. But rural Sindh bitterly ignored on pretext of security risk. While Sindh has no fear of terrorism, Sindh is peaceful land of Pakistan. We hope that Ms. Judy will be satisfied in her tour and will prove wrong misperceptions. she will build up confidence among other visitors and well-wishers of disabled community, that they must visit Sindh and join hands with disabled community of rural Sindh, for the improvement and enhancement of capacity building and working areas.
