I would like to thank all who gave me precious time and shared
information when I was in England 13th-21st November; all was worth
while: today the vice-chancellor of the Middle East Technical
University in Ankara held a press conference to announce that our
university is establishing a disability support unit; and I am now the
coordinator of this unit!
I still have barely had time to do anything more than classify the
15kg of materials I brought back, as I had to focus of convincing the
powers that be of both justification and feasibility. Now this is
done, I am going to have to get down to some serious business, and
learn how to behave according to official codes of conduct; but I'll
have power to get things done.
When I have written up my report I'll be forwarding it to those
concerned.
I hope we may see some of you in Turkey, some time, some day...
Best wishes,
Claire Ozel.
