Halina is working for Guyana Community Based Rehabilitation Programme (GCBR). This is a non-governmental organisation that aims to ensure that every person with disabilities, whatever their age, type of disability or place of residence, is able to fully participate in the social, educational, economic and political life of Guyana, and can access high quality services in their locality that are appropriate to their needs.
Here is Halina in her palatial office:
ie a corner of the meeting room. However she does have internet access sometimes.
Kenneth, one of the other volunteers officially ended his year with the organisation and was given a send off party with speeches. Everyone had to make a speech - even Steve who was only there to bring the camera!
Mr Gregory (Chairman), Mrs Thomas (volunteer worker), Kenneth Opio (VSO Volunteer), Ms Maison Halls (Founder and National Advisor), Mrs Eastman (Office Manager).
We signed up for free Spanish lessons with the Venezuelan embassy and had a very good introductory speech from the ambassador last night. The first class is this evening, so we'll see how it goes.
