Members of the Disabled People’s Network (DPN) of Region Five will finally have their own multipurpose building through a project undertaken by the Food for the Poor (FFP) organisation and are to establish a special needs school for the first time.
President of the DPN, Mark Archibald told Stabroek News that the school will start with 36 students at the new facility, located at Seafield, West Coast Berbice.
Members will also convert the large land space into an agricultural plot for the cultivation of vegetables, plantain, ground provision and fruits.
