A 2007 project idea proposed :(

Note: this was a course purchase I proposed to Continuing Ed in 07 FRP comprises of pwds and family members who have combined our expertise to address a social issue and have designed a course in disability studies. The course an outcome from various surveys, training and research that members of the committee has participated in within the past decade. We have seen that these researches ect have failed to progress beyond a report, a document and a launching ceremony. The issues revealed with them still exist e.g. marginalization of pwds through ignorance and negative attitudes. As a result of societal isolation most still live in poverty and endure discrimination. This sordid treatment undermining pwds dignity and human rights came primarily from professionals and family members. In solidarity and in a quest to change this situation FRP was formed. Our goal is to change attitudes and behavour through a evolutionary course that emphasizes that pwds can be initiators of change through education and technology. we use the course as an incubator to transform minds fill with prejudices towards pwds to participants becoming empowered members of society, who as change-makers within their sphere of responsibility, will join us in promoting the equal rights of pwds, as stated in the UN convention and other declarations and policies. We have been able to access a limited amount of funding to begin the process and with financial support from your organization we could further strengthen the programme and improve the quality of the course so as to meet the goal of full inclusion of pwds in society.
