Keeping the promise

It is therefore an honour and privilege for me to be present at this occasion to talk to you about issues affecting People with Disabilities in commemoration of this day. The theme for this year's commemoration, is "Keeping The Promise: Mainstreaming Disability In Millenium Development Goals Towards 2015 And Beyond". 

This theme is intended to promote commitments made by member states of United Nations Organisation to improve the quality of life for people with disabilities within the context of the Millennium Development Goals.  I am happy to report that Botswana is on the right track in working towards achievement of these goals.
