TAGUM CITY, Davao del Norte, Oct. 21 (PIA)--- The association of persons with disabilities in Davao del Norte will  soon have its own livelihood center to develop  and further hone their capabilities.

The DavNor Person with Disabilities Association led the ground-breaking ceremony on October 6, 2015 of its Livelihood Production Center that will soon rise at Purok Balumo, Barangay San Isidro in Tagum, Davao del Norte.

Aside from  the provincial government of Davao del Norte, the project got the support of the city government of Tagum, House of Representatives, the National Anti-poverty Commission,  Technical Education and Skills Devt Authority, Tagum Cooperative, Tagum Water District, departments of Social Welfare, Environment, Trade and Industry and Labor and Employment, Integrated Bar of the Philippines,  and barangay Visayan Village and San Isidro.

In his message read by his representative,  Davao del Norte Governor Rodolfo P. del Rosario lauded the PWD sector for its resolve to become empowered noting that such aspiration runs in line with his development thrust, “PEOPLE” which highlights people empowerment.

Noting the drive among PWDs to become productive, Del Rosario pointed out the importance of developing resilient and adaptable attitudes amidst the Climate Change phenomenon.

“We appreciate you for developing your capacities,”  he said in his message read by Nemesis Nunez.

Meanwhile, Tagum City  Mayor Allan Rellon also sent his representative, Nestor Caong who inspired members of DavNor PWD Association to become righteous and happy. A lay minister, Caong anchored his inspiration for PWDs on spirituality.
