Hi to all, Sorry for my late reply. I am checking my email inbox only now.
Thank you all for your word of encouragement. Avinash: I attended the Disability Business Forum only on the first day. I left early, that is, just after the opening part. I was not there when Mr. Abidi intervened. I met him on Thursday 18th September for DPO Mauritius. There was a polemic in the press about an issue concerning DPI and DPO Mauritius. The Civic Leadership course I followed focused on leadership in NGO sector and leadership in civic rights organisations. The qualities of a good leadership was laid emphasis on.
