At the most recent DDF meeting on October 23rd, the group decided that rather than celebrate World Disability Day in separate functions in each organisation, we would all come together for a joint event on Nov 28th.
BADHTE KADAM - an initiative of the National Trust - is a multi-state road trip by four separate teams who will be traveling around India celebrating diversity, promoting the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disability and creating awareness about the specific National Trust concerns for people with intellectual impairments.
The road trip steams into Dehradun on Nov 28th and the DDF will be the welcoming committee. From 3:30 to 5:30, we will hold a mela at the Rangers College FRI Extension (near Parade Ground) in which there will be music, dance, games and fun activities, along with food and drink stalls, exhibitions, balloons and other surprises.
As the first public action by the DDF, this one is full of excitement and promise and we are all looking forward to the experience of sharing a common platform here in Dehradun.
