[Chapter-delegates] The Inter-American Development Bank is financing innovative solutions that promote the inclusion of people with disabilities

[Arnoud van Wijk]

Hello everyone.

Previously I posted about project funding by the Inter-American Development
Bank which was received very well.

Here we have another project funding opportunity. 

This might be interesting for our Latin American and Caribbean Chapters.

English version can be found below the Spanish text.

 

Sincerely

 

Arnoud

Can you think of a way to create a video game for blind children?

 

Or how to program an online sign language course?
