| Haile Selassie the First - July 29, 1964 |
It is with great pleasure that We have delegated Ato Abebe Kebede,
Administrator General of Our Welfare Foundation, and who is also
responsible for the welfare and education of the blind in Ethiopia, to attend
and participate in the deliberations of the General Assembly of the World
Council for the Welfare of the Blind which is to be held in New York from
July 30th to August 12th, 1964.
Since the standard of living of the blind people in general is much to be
desired yet in the developing countries, We feel that it is your great
responsibility to give deep and thoughtful consideration to this problem in
the course of your discussions, as well as to study the impact of blindness
in the said countries. In doing so, We are confident that you shall be the
hope for your brothers and sisters living in darkness at the remote corners
of the earth. We also urge the countries who are economically advanced
and who have had greater experience in the education of the blind to share
their knowledge with others in this field.
We assure you that as long as Our means permit, We shall not fail to
support your objectives and closely participate in your activities.
May God bless your work.
