I am going to request each and every one of you to cast your vote for a man who has done so much for us. When I first met him a few years ago I thought that he was great for the sector and now that i work with him I still think he is great but now I have more respect and admiration for him. Kanchan It gives us immense pleasure to share with you some very exciting news. Mr. Javed Abidi, Honorary Director, NCPEDP, has been shortlisted for the Guardian Achievements in International Development Award 2009!
The award is aimed at recognizing some of the unsung heroes of international development and to share the outstanding stories of local successes with a global audience. What is even more exciting is that Mr. Abidi has made it to the top 5 from 95 other nominations from around the world. He is the ONLY Indian and the only one from the subcontinent to have made the top 5. And yes, he is also the only one in the top 5 from the disability sector, worldwide! The winner will now be decided through public voting which will take place between 7 - 30 September 2009. In his 17 years of work in the sector, you entrusted your faith and support in his vision, courage, conviction and integrity. It is time now to take this vision even further, time to take our story of years of struggle, small victories, bouquets and brick bats to the rest of the world.
