Gérald Oriol Jr., the Secretary of State for the Integration of Persons with Disabilities at the head of a BSEIPH delegation, was in the department of the Center last week to evaluate the interventions of his office in the department.

During this visit, he met with the mayor of Thomonde, Mathéus Bernadeau and departmental directors of various public institutions in order to encourage a better integration of the needs of people with special needs in their interventions.

The next day Gerald Oriol Jr. and his delegation were in the department of Artibonite.
