Vanuatu celebrates International Day of People with Disabilities

Oxfam in Vanuatu, through the Vanuatu Civil Society Disability Network (VCSDN), joined partners to celebrate International Day of People with Disabilities.

The celebrations began with a parade from the Fung Kuei parking lot up to the Saraklana Park where invited quests from the private and public sector, including the Director of the Correctional Service, Johnny Marango, made important speeches to commemorate the day.
