These are pictures from the GVTC gathering on February 20 & 21, 2008. The current class presented advocacy projects, the class of 2007-2008 graduated, and we all participated in Disability Day at the Georgia Capitol!
Betty created a brochure to help people know where to turn to live fully in the community. Her brochure will be available in a variety of community locations.
Fred has gotten involved in public speaking and is trying to make life better for people in mental hospitals. He recently spoke at a SILC meeting.
James is fired up about helping fight ignorance through educating the public about people with disabilities. James' speaking skills have helped broaden the understanding of many he has touched.
Josh has been working to improve the experiences of people riding MARTA's Mobility transportation. His record keeping has held MARTA accountable for being on time.
WE ARE CHANGING THE WORLD!
GVTC Class #6 - Advocacy Projects
Marian has made a big difference in her small town by organizing events for her community! The highlight was raffling off a blanket made by people with disabilities to a lady who will give it to her new baby!
Of course this is me, and this website is my project. I hope it can be a help to lots of people with and without disabities.
Kathy has gotten a communication device so she can finally speak her mind! She will continue to work toward her goal of moving out of an institution and back into the community.
