Speech by the Kazakhstan participant
Training Report - Vocational Rehabilitation Course 2007

Thank you speech

On behalf of the group I would like to thank you JICA and the government of Japan for providing us this wonderful opportunity. And I would also like to note that this wouldn’t have been possible without the contribution of the Japanese people. It is through their valuable contribution we get to dream and work to realize these dreams for PWDs in our countries.

So thank you once again JICA. For we have learned many things about your society, culture, the services and provision for PWDs and the PWDs contributions, the life of PWDs. We must also tell you that this experience has broadened our vision and shown us the realms of possibilities that are available for the PWDs in our respective countries.

And so we would like to assure you that the knowledge we gained from this training will be shared many times over and over again and that the experience we had would be cherished for the rest of our lives.

This training wouldn't have been real without the dedication and assistance of all the people who worked in front and behind the scenes to organize this training to go flawlessly. So thank you JSRPD. Thank you JICE. Thank you JICA Tokyo International.

We would also like to give a special thanks to the Committee members, Sadie-San, Keiko-San, Baba-San, Kosugi-San, Yuki-San, Kumai-San for creating a very special and friendly environment for us to get the best out of this course. Your time and effort is much appreciated.

Lastly I would like to thank you all the participants for giving your valuable contribution to this course. Each of your uniqueness and originality made this training so much more interesting and memorable. I learned much from each of you. Please keep in communication and live up to your dreams. Make each of your plans real for the PWDs in your countries. And please never give up.

With this I conclude.
Thank you
