Community Voices Presentations in 2008

"A society where everyone, regardless of background or disability, feels welcome, included and supported"

Tony and Nidhi were at the Nepean Disability Expo (Penrith Panthers) held on 24 & 25 October at Penrith Panthers Pavillion in Penrith. Workers and members of the public came to MDAA stand to find out what our services were. Individual Advocate George Ayoub and Joyce (Community Development Worker) and Luis from CV were also there. Nidhi and Tony went visiting different stands and talking to other workers, they were so busy than soon they ran out of business cards, and both of them were excited about their experiences at the Expo.
