Dear Paul,
I want to wish you well as you proceed with your function today.
Indeed we will be eager to learn of the outcome, which we believe and
expect to be a positive one.
Indeed it is commendable and encouraging to see that now days persons
with disability especially us the V.I. are taking real and tangible
steps to ensure that we are represented and that we air our own views
and aspirations, as opposed to others airing them for us. It is a
confirmation that says"he who wears the shoe, knows where it pinches
most"
However not withstanding the aforementioned statement, I believe we
should endavour in our daily lives to intergrate with the main stream
society for better understanding and creation of partnerships that
then can have a positive impact in society in general.
Here at the judiciary, i have always endavoured to put the best
image forward for persons with visual impairement and i have
engaged the Chief Justice, who is the president of the judiciary and
Supreme court, to consider how more persons with disability can be a
meaningful part of the judiciary.
Let us continue to work in this partnerships to create a more
fulfilling and better tommorrow today.
Regards,
Stan
