“We cannot work without numbers,Wholesale Authentic Jerseys,” said Director of the National Commission on Disability, Ms Beverly Pyle duringDirector of the National Commission on Disability, Ms Beverly Pylean interview with this publication. Pyle was at the time responding to recent concerns levelled by members within the disability fraternity who are convinced that enough is not being done to address their concerns.Recently, members attached to the Guyana Disabled Organisation,China Jerseys NFL, Omar Cooper and Yvonne Debreu expressed their individual views that more should be done to ensure that the rights of persons with disabilities are respected.According to Pyle, part of the mandate of the Commission is to register all persons within the society with disabilities.? But she intimated that many persons with disabilities have not been coming forward as expected. “Our last census in 2002, and that’s a long time ago, is telling us 50, 000 (people are living with disabilities) but on our registration at the National Commission on Disability we don’t even have 5, 000,” said Pyle who pointed out that this is in spite of the fact that “we have our registration form in every Region. We are not getting the information coming back to us.”The Director went on to note that it is of paramount importance that persons with disability seek to register with the Commission as “we are the ones pleading their cause. The Commission is there to protect and promote the rights of persons with disabilities by advising the authorities that be to know how to plan and what to plan for but if we don’t get the information from the people with disability then we can’t inform the relevant authorities.”The importance of registration, she noted, is crucial as once registered, persons with disabilities can be eligible to receive public assistance from the Ministry of Human Services and Social Security. This can also help them in getting other assistance such as hearing aids, prosthesis and wheelchairs. “We have a referral system at the Commission that takes people to these various areas that have these things available and they might have to pay a small fee but not for the entire thing, but if you are not registered you wouldn’t get that kind of priority,” said Pyle.Her appeal to those persons who have not been in contact with the Commission is “let them check with us at the Commission so that we can enlighten them as to what is exactly going on. I am not saying that it is going as it should,Cheap Jerseys From China, but work is being done.”“If those people can come on board perhaps to help us get this thing speedily I think that we would go a far way,China Jerseys,” Pyle asserted.Speaking directly to the Disability Act of 2010,NFL Jerseys China, which the work of the Commission embraces, Pyle noted that “if people don’t know what’s in it they will not know what to do with it.” For this very purpose she stressed the work of the Disability Commission to sensitise the nation of the content of the relatively new Act.? “It is going to take a long time for us to sensitise persons about what’s in the Act and I don’t think that we can ever reach a point where we are finished…but when we come to a point where you think that you have saturated the society I would say it is only then we can ease a bit,” asserted Pyle.The purpose of the sensitisation process, she explained, is to ensure that persons are au fait with the content of the Act so as to ensure that they can incorporate and practice what is required of them. She however noted that thus far not much has been done in terms of implementation of the Act. This is a direct result Pyle said of “persons not fully understanding their roles in terms of allowing the Act to be implemented.”She nevertheless noted that persons must bear in mind the old saying that “Rome was not built in a day”. However, she pointed out that “the mere idea that the Commission has been doing sensitisation programmes shows that we are making steps in terms of understanding persons with disabilities and having persons with disabilities also understand what’s inside the Act too.”“I think people need to take things a little slow and just let things roll on as they should in terms of them getting what they should.. you can’t always get things right away,” added Pyle.Although the Commission currently benefits from a bolstered staff, Pyle noted that the Commission’s work is somewhat constrained by limited finances. The Commission benefits from subvention from the Ministry of Health and also from some amount of donor assistance.? But according to Pyle, “it is not always easy to get donor funding.” As such Pyle said that “there is only so much that you can do wi
