Our Advisory Working Group
Working together to advance disability training opportunities
The Group's Purpose:
We know that within low and middle-income countries, there is great need for more access to information and training about disabilities and disability-related topics. But in order to create quality trainings, we know we need many minds and areas of expertise working together. This is why we have developed the DSI Advisory Working Group (AWG).
We Collaboratively
Advise
and Develop
This group of volunteer professionals is working collaboratively to advise and develop disability training topics and materials to be used with Partners in Cambodia (and other developing countries in the future) where local disability professionals and training opportunities are greatly lacking or do not yet exist.
"How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment
before starting to improve the world."
