Stumble It!
what an excellent initiative! Bravo to all the great women who have attended to this program!
Hope to see Afghan Women with Disabilities among this group one day! We run a project in Afghanistan to empower 200 women with disabilities plus their siblings. By end of the project we plan to form a Women with Disability Advocacy Forum.
