I was a principal before joining this honourable House, and I tried to inculcate in the students the issue of appreciating PWDs.

Madam Temporary Speaker, I thank Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve once again, because it is through the school clubs where we can have membership and relationships where we can develop a case of remembering one another.
