“The Liberia Labour Congress is working with AIFO because AIFO is into issues of work with persons living with disabilities,” Madam Carpenter announced. “The importance of a work place also means the place is welcoming, safe, and provides opportunities for the disabled person,” Mr. Harris said. “These psychological barriers should be removed for the disabled employee to feel the completeness of inclusion in the public work place,” added Madam Dennis. Mr. Willocor said LIBA organizes a regular Trade Fair through which disabled business persons can showcase the products or services. Madam Madam Meima H. Bettie (visually impaired), a caterer, said she’s addressed as a “beggar” most times when she’s at a store to buy her baking materials.
