World Health Organization's Disability Unit Requests Support

By Khasnabis Chapal

I am the new member of Disability and Rehabilitation Team of WHO. My major areas of work are CBR and Assistive Devices. Beside these, I also have been asked to upgrade our existing website (http://www.who.int/ncd/disability/index.htm).   

We need your feedback and active participation while developing the upgraded website. We would be very happy if you could please let us know what is your minimum expectation from WHO Disability and Rehabilitation Website. Could you help us with ideas, success stories, facts and figures, good photos etc. Photos talks more than any text and it has its own language which most of us understand. Once it is developed, we will also try to make it in other languages and DISABILITY friendly. You can send the photo by post or electronic mail - we will duly acknowledge your contribution as much as possible. We also need the same for our brochure and awareness material - Could you help?

Please keep in mind that we are a very small team and this job is an addition to our regular work till we could come out with better solution. So, we might not be able to match with all your expectations. We will give a honest try and we will try very hard to make a good quality useful website but to do that we need information and resources. We will also be happy if you allow us to link your website to ours and vice versa. Please share this message with anyone you know who can help us.
