    FOR bigger transparency in the distribution and use of funds for disability projects
    - an answer to the National Council of Disabled People’s Organisations (NSIOS) latest campaign

    We would like to give an answer to the latest campaign of the National Council of Disabled People’s Organisations, who claims that there is a great injustice and doom coming upon disabled people due to the proposal to change the lottery foundation board structure.

    We feel it was about time, after so many calls for better transparency, for monitoring of the use of funds, for elimination of the conflict of interest, that the group of MPs proposed an Act, that will change the structure of the decision making body of lottery foundation (Foundation for financing invalid and humanitarian organisations).

    Legislation Ministry of Labour, Family and Social Affairs
    Mr. Andrej Vizjak, Minister
    Kotnikova ulica 28
    Ljubljana


    SUBJECT: Letter of support for the adoption of the Law on Personal Assistance in Slovenia


    Dear Minister Vizjak,

    I am writing to you on behalf of (name of the organisation) in relation to the negative opinion that the Government of Slovenia adopted at its meeting on 19th July 2012, rejecting the draft Law on Personal Assistance (PA). We believe that by rejecting the draft Law, you have deprived people with disabilities in Slovenia of the possibility of freedom and independence, and denied them the right to live in the community with the same opportunities as other citizens.

    Internatioonal coop. 'It is time for a new way of thinking about disability.

    Don't give us money, give us a job. Don't give us a free buspass, give us a drivers licence.

    We might be disabled but we feel strong.'



    With this roadtrip I want to do two things.

    I want to show the world how free a person with a severe disability can be if he gets the right support. I want to show the world that we are on the right track.

    I want to meet other young people with a disability and give them a platform on which they can tell the world how strong they feel.
