pril 18 every year is an opportunity for governments of all levels, social organizations, organizations of persons with disabilities, and sponsors to organize many activities aiming at encouraging the participation of persons with disabilities in all aspects of social life with the hope of improving the quality of life and ensuring the inclusion and equality for persons with disabilities in Vietnam.
