Betreff: Congratulatory Message to Rachel Kachaje

This is a congratulatory message for Rachel Kachaje for being appointed Malawi's Minister of Disabilities and Elderly Affairs of Malawi. This is great news to the Malawian disability movements, DIWA, DPI, and the global disability movement.

This is a challenging post, but the Rachel that I know, will take the bull by its horns. Its for sure that hard work pays, and she deserves it. I pray that she gets all the strength to ensure that Malawi understand disability issues as development and human rights issues, where barriers need to be dismantled so that doors can be opened for people with disabilities in development processes. As we move towards the post-2015 sustainable development goals, we pray for inclusive development.

Once again, congratulations to the hardworking Rachel, and keep working hard for the emancipation of people with disabilities in Malawi and beyond.

Lots of love as she takes up this position and may God bless her!!!
