Angel María Viuda de Valle (right) and Morena Patricia de León Hernandez (left), inside the chicken coup built with the support of micro-credits provided by COMUS, with support from SCIAF. The micro-credits are provided annually, and used to purchase material, chicks, and feed. Maria and Patricia rear the chickens and sell them locally, generating a profit of around US$450 every 3-4 months. The income helps them gain economic independence, and provide for their families.
I am Rajah Sulayman Kargbo, a pupil of the Prince of Wales Secondary School in Freetown. I am in JSS1. I am 16 years old.
I was not born blind. I became blind in 2006 after I made my first travel out of Freetown - that was to visit my mother in Kambia District, Northern Province.
I was playing with my friend at one field and the ball went over. So I went and picked the ball up and the minute I raised my head I saw blackout, in broad daylight. And I could not see anymore. I was taken to different hospitals and they told me they couldn’t tell me what was disturbing my eyesight. So I went to Sight Saviour and I was advised not to waste my time and I should go to the school for the blind. Sight Saviour at Connaught Hospital. I was 8 years old. I was not told why I was blind - but the only thing they told me was they could not tell what was really the problem.
We are here to talk about issues disturbing children and disabled children in particular. We discussed about inclusive education, which I think is very important - how to let children with disabilities access their learning environment.
I was very happy today because I am sure if all these things are put in place measures are put in place, they will solve some problems for children.
It is very difficult as a blind person to acquire an education in this part of the world. Because as you can see the materials are very expensive. It was very difficult for me at the start because I had nothing to write with, nothing to record with. But at least with the help of Sight Saviour - I cannot say that I am fully OK, but it is now better because I can get access to my notes and other learning materials and that helps me greatly.
We were also talking about the hearing impaired, visually impaired, and [children who have had] polio.
We were divided in groups and we discussed it and then we presented it.
Tomorrow will be the declaration for the children where we will have the opportunity to read our problems and what should be done towards the issues of children. We will be reading it to other dignitaries that will be around, more especially the CRC, the constitutional review committee so that some of these things will be in our constitution.
In the future I want to become a human rights lawyer. I want to talk for the disabled children of our country, because I can tell you most of the disabled people are not getting the justice they are supposed to get, just because they a disabled. As you can see if you look around you there are many who have had polio. Access to the courts is very poor unless you help them raise their wheelchairs into the courts. Our courts do not have ramps so it is very difficult for them to enter and listen to the judgments that are going on.
The schools also do not have ramps. They are not disabled friendly.
When I am in school in some places I want them to leave me to walk alone so that If they are not around I can try on my own. But if I see the place is very difficult, then i need somebody to help me out.
I do not have a stick. I can walk there with my colleagues then master it to my memory - I memorize the place - by steps. I can know the amount of steps I take and then cross a drainage or meet a step.
I need somebody to walk around the place so that i can memorize the place, after which I can try locating myself around.
In the school that I go to I need someone to help me out because it is very vast and the buildings are different and not the same. They are not built the same.
If there was one thing that would make my life easier and happy is if I had support for my education. I would like a stick - a white cane that can guide me.
I write braille. I am using frame and style. There are computers now that can help your write in braille, but as I said before, in this part of the world we don’t get access to these things easily because they are very expensive.
It was very difficult being a person with disability during the time of Ebola because normally when we go to school our colleagues will go away from us, just to keep themselves away from Ebola. We depend on our colleagues help - without them we cannot locate ourselves in our different classes. So by then we are finding it very difficult except for kind hearted colleagues that were around and were assisting, and even when we go to the streets some people to just help us to cross the street - they will decide fixing plastics on their hands thinking we have Ebola. So it was very difficult for me especially. Now I am very happy because the country has been declared Ebola free. I can now go around with my colleagues holding my hand. Though we must not forget to wash our hands and sanitize them at all times.
In my leisure time I like listening to music with very important messages, and also playing football. Well at our school we have a bell ball. By the sound we can trace the ball and then try to dribble it around. I play with other visually impaired students. We used to have a sighted referee that normally blows the whistle when it is goal. But before that time we will go around knowing the location of the goal - from the point I stand I know how many meters should i kick so that I wont run and then fall across anything.
I am always hopeful because of the people that normally come around me and that gives me more energy to study hard.

Day 9 -11
CESTA, San Salvador
CESTA operates a programme to support organisations of People with Disabilities, helping them develop their organisational, leadership and lobby skills, and providing them with micro-credit funds to develop sustainable livelihoods. Here, I visited ADCA, an association in Ciudad Arce, and we discussed the problems facing people with disabilities in El Salvador. These problems include physical and social marginalisation, inadequate health care, and poor accessibility. Buses and taxis are not equipped for wheelchair users, many buildings are inaccessible (including hospitals, schools and other public buildings), and pavements often lack ramps. Many people with disabilities come from poor families, who cannot afford to modify their houses, making mobility a major problem, even at home.

Martha Alicia Sandoval shows of her new fuel-efficient stove, built with SCIAF support. These stoves significantly reduce the amount of firewood needed, and also keep kitchens free from smoke, helping generate a healthier environment within the family home. Martha uses her stove everyday to cook the traditional maize tortillas which accompany each meal in El Salvador.

Dr Ricardo Navarro and Silvia Quiroa from CESTA, make their way through the mangrove forest, with a local guide from La Tirana. Water levels were so low that we had to wade through the swamps and negotiate the complicated root systems on foot.

COMUS, Usulutan
SCIAF support has enabled COMUS to build and equip a small coffee processing plant, where they process the coffee produced by their members, and sell it through a network of over 140 shops throughout El Salvador. By operating the plant themselves, COMUS members receive a better price for their harvest. By selling locally, COMUS insures that the best coffee is consumed by Salvadorans, rather than being exported to foreign markets.

Day 5
CESTA, La Tirana
The mangrove forests on the southern coast of El Salvador, provide a source of income for a number of rural communities, such as La Tirana. Local people make a living from catching and selling crabs and other shellfish. Over the last 10 years, community members have witnessed the forest slowly being destroyed by rising sea levels and the advance of the beach. Once the mangrove trees’ roots are covered in sand, they slowly suffocate and die, leaving locals worried about how they will continue earning a living in the future.
Day 6 – 8
JDS, Jujutla
In the community of Hoja de Sal, I met 4 community animators. The animators are community members who receive specialised training from JDS. The animators then replicate these trainings within their community, and provide assistance to farmers who are implementing sustainable farming techniques. In this picture, Gabriel Sanchez (far right) shows us around his hillside fields, were he employs techniques such as crop diversification, permanent soil cover, and a combination of hedgerows and ditches built along natural contours to reduce the risk of soil erosion and improve his soil fertility.

Snow can create some pretty amazing effects :-)
Today is the International Day of Persons with Disabilities. I often think of the disabled people when I shovel the snow these days. Snow can make a pretty big obstacle for the disabled, especially those in wheelchairs or with other phisical impairments. We should never take things for granted - not even such simple things as a clean sidewalk or driveway.
Keep the comments clean! No banners, awards or invitations, please!

COMUS employ a bottom-up approach, supporting both community and regional organisation. Community leaders receive constant training to strengthening their leadership capacities, and COMUS places great emphasis on gender training. Many of the local leaders are women.
