Message from Shailender Yadav, Young Voices India
Hi All,
Wish you a very happy new year,
I am Shailender Yadav from India Delhi young voices group, It is my pleasure to inform you that we have started young voices group in the month of June 2011 but we have solved many issues in this short period, still we focused on accessibility issues because we cannot move out from the houses because of inaccessibility. We have also prepared a documentary film on accessibility. Accessibility is a larger issue which we cannot solve in short time, therefore, we are planning to prepare a disability wise documentary film, which can be more effective to show our challenges to policy makers.

Message from Myra Faye Fonte, Young Voices Cavite Philippines
Hi, I’m Myra Faye Fonte of LCDPFI-YV-Cavite. As this year ends, I want to be thankful for one thing: for learning about YV and knowing such friends who are empowered to promote our rights and help each other to develop skills that can help us for a lifetime. Thank you for making me look at the world in a whole new perspective─ that young people like us have voices which can help change the way people think about us─ voices that are powerful enough to make people not only have awareness but literally do something about it.
