APD Interview

APD volunteers Shree and Catherine have been involved in many things since their arrival in Scotland such as visiting the transport museum, visiting Victoria Park and SCIAF to help raise the profile of the importance of APD India. They plan on taking knowledge back to India. After their meeting with SCIAF who have funded in the past have decided to send a proposal for funds to the EU. Shree told us “APD is a great team, we always try to help the people in rural communities” Katherine added “We try to build confidence in them, so they can lead an independent life. Even the disabled person can be an abled person.” She also said “ I am proud to work in APD to render my service to the disabled where I can motivate them to develop self-esteem.” Shree lost his leg In his younger years due to polio which is very common among young people in India. Polio is easily avoidable in the UK because we receive a vaccination at a very young age. Shree told us that “I work alongside the primary students to help them to become able. The APD have helped me overcome my disability and  I am very grateful of them.” The visitors have enjoyed their time in Scotland. Shree told us that “I am enjoying every single second of Scotland, all the places we have visited have been so welcoming!” Katherine added “Scotland is the loveliest place, it is very beautiful. I am fascinated with all fashion and cooking classes that you provide for the children.” Katherine surprisingly enjoyed our weather here in Scotland she also added “Scotland has wonderful weather we get to see all four seasons in one day.”
