Training Report - Vocational Rehabilitation Course 2007
Mr. Fuminari HASHIMOTO, Team Director of Human Development Team JICA gave the closing speech. Then the congratulatory speech was given by Mr. Shuzo KATAISHI, executive director of JSRPD to the ten course participants.
Today is not the end! Although the training in Japan was concluded, this is a new starting point for the participants. Now they go back to their countries with new knowledge and experiences to share with their people. The participants are required to report the progress of their action plan after six months of their return and today Ms. Sadaie, JICA program officer, showed a certificate which the participants will receive upon the submission of their progress report.
The participant from Kazakhstan, on behalf of the ten participants, made a speech and expressed their gratitude for the golden opportunity to take training in Japan. She told us that this speech was made by all the course participants through a group discussion.
Speech by the Kazakhstan participant
Farewell party：
The encounter of friends and people with the same aspiration is precious.
So let's keep in touch with each other and work towards the same overarching goal to promote the employment of persons with disabilities in each country. This is not a farewell, but we look forward to seeing each other again!
