Dear All, Greetings from Mauritius. I hope that you are all well.
I am back in Mauritius from the US since 2nd August. Some major events took place since my return. I am now the acting Chairperson of DPO Mauritius. There was a Disability Business Forum held on 15-16 September 2014 in Mauritius whereby Mr. Javed Abidi was in Mauritius. In fact he is leaving Mauritius today. Coming back to my participation in the Young African Leaders Initiative: it has been a tremendously enriching experience. I had 6 weeks of course on Civic Leadership at Rutgers University, New Jersey. I experienced an inclusive society for 7 weeks in the US. I was in Washington DC during the 7th week. I met with President Obama and the First Lady. I shook hands with President Obama and hugged the First Lady. Some days ago I have been presented a Microsoft Internship This internship is being given to only 100 fellows on the total of 500 fellows who participated in the fellowship in the US. I have accepted the offer and will start my internship in Microsoft Office in Mauritius soon. I am so delighted to contribute to the welfare of my fellow friends with visual impairment in Mauritius. Hope you all prosperity and good luck in your endeavor, Aarthi Burtony Register at the dedicated AccessIndia list for discussing accessibility of mobile phones / Tabs on: http://mail.accessindia.org.in/mailman/listinfo/mobile.accessindia_accessindia.org.in Search for old postings at: http://www.mail-archive.com/accessindia@accessindia.org.in/ To unsubscribe send a message to accessindia-requ...@accessindia.org.in with the subject unsubscribe.
