My 2011 - 2012 Budget Response

The Trinidad and Tobago's 2011 - 2012 National Budget was read today. I must say that this year's budget was a little better than last year's budget. The scholarship of $5000 for differently abled persons who want to further their education is great but I hope the Government knows that scholarships means educated differently abled persons who need jobs. Automatically qualifying for a food card is an okay idea but I hope the Government doesn't think that giving us food cards makes providing jobs any less important. For the sweet part of the budget. Grants will be paid to single mothers who are the sole caregivers of a special child and where the household income is inadequate to support the family, great. Families with a child who is differently abled will automatically receive food support via the TT Food Card, very nice. All persons with challenges will be able to access free transportation on the Public Transportation System. Specially designed buses for the differently abled will be made available, fantastic. I hope most of these things are implemented.

Help Raise Awareness Now

Trinidad is a very reactive society, yes, I said TRINIDAD and not Trinidad and Tobago because I think that Tobagonians are more proactive. But as for Trinidadians... When someone loses an arm, the person and the persons close to them suddenly realise that we need to raise awareness for persons who only have one arm and the same thing happens when someone acquires any other disability. It is time to stop waiting for something to hit home before you decide to help raise awareness.

I said........ "Thank you"

I did this video because my Equal Treatment For Differently Abled People Facebook fan page crossed 1,000 fans!!!!!!!!

Flood After Flood

It was very angering to be looking at the news and seeing that the Princess Elizabeth's home for differently abled got flooded out but it was even more angering when I read that this was the sixth time in the last ten years. The Government of Trinidad and Tobago recently announced plans to construct a new building at a new location but my question is, why wasn't this done after the first flood?

I Love My Body

When I'm choosing a new facebook profile picture, I hardly choose a picture which does not display my whole body because I think that it's important for people to see me as who I am and that is a differently abled man who is extremely comfortable in his skin.
