The 40 Empower Haitian Women
training participants were honored to receive Haiti’s Secretary of State for
the Integration of Persons with Disabilities Gerald Oriol, Jr. on the fourth
day of their entrepreneurship and business skills training at the Bureau of
Integration of Persons with Disabilities (BSEIPH) offices in Nazon. A visit in show
of support for the Empower Haitian Women project, his presence was met with
enthusiasm by participants and EHW volunteers alike.
Having already offered
tremendous support by providing a handicap accessible space in which to deliver
the business skills training, the Empower Haitian Women team is optimistic
about future opportunities to collaborate with the Secretary of State’s Bureau
of Integration of Persons with Disabilities.
Gerald Oriol, Jr. was
appointed as Secretary of State for the Integration of Persons with
Disabilities by President Michel Martelly in October 2011. He and his offices
provide services to an estimated one million disabled persons nationally. The
Empower Haitian Women team and the participants are grateful to Secretary Oriol
for his time and support.
