Ambassador Luis T. Cruz delivers a congratulatory address during the inauguration ceremony of the Global Challenge for Young Persons with Disabilities Study Program held in Seoul, on 18 August 2008.

The program aims to enable young adults with disabilities to build their capacity to deal with disability issues both on national and international level and eventually develop them to become influential figures in promoting a better society for persons with disabilities in the future. The study program was organized by the Korean Society for Rehabilitation of Persons with Disabilities (KSRPD). Two delegates from Philippines are participating in this year’s program.
