Where Is My President?
I don't know how it works in other parts of the world but if you are silent for too long in Trinidad and Tobago people tend to forget and neglect you. With that said, can someone please tell the president of the Trinidad and Tobago chapter of Disabled People's International to make him or herself visible to the public and get in the government's face so they will not forget and neglect the differently abled community.

Interestingly, a national budget was just read by the new government here in Trinidad and not a single word was said concerning the disabled. It is traditional that the financial assistance given to the disabled is increased along with the Old age Pension. The government made a big issue over the word "grant" for the aged changing it to pension. Yet, no such change was done for those receiving the disability grant. And added to that - not a cent was given. It is strange, too, that I have not heard a word from the disabled community.
