In a move to observe Disability Rights Awareness Month (DRAM), the Office of the Executive Mayor has responded to the long-standing plea of a Khuma resident, providing a critical tool for his independence. Hendrick Molato, a 43-year-old resident of Ward 34 in Khuma, has been totally blind for over 10 years. His call for assistance was answered by the Office of the Executive Mayor, through the initiative of the Disability Desk led by Ditto Maine.
