SHARING VIDEOSEvery month we like to share an original video with you. Some of them are made by our colleagues, while others are sourced from outside the organisation. This month’s newsletter actually has three videos: one about the Shoe Pyramid in France in the "Video of the Month” section (p. 4), a second on the "Teacher Kids" campaign with our ambassador Neymar Jr. in “Front of House" (p. 2), and a third on the Luxembourg Pyramid under “NA news" in the same section. If you have a video you’d like to share with us - it needs to be short with a good quality image, but not necessarily directly connected to the work we do - then send a YouTube link along with a few words about the video to [email protected]’équipe du Sidcom

Designed to “make a difference”, the initiative raised our profile in the city - our logo was displayed on all of the festival’s communication media - and included a special screening
of the French film “Patients” introduced by our director. An opportunity to pro-vide an interested audience with infor-mation on HI, it also enabled us to gather email addresses and signatures for the Stop Bombing Civilians campaign.Lou Miranda – [email protected]
SWITZERLAND: HI YOGA NATIONS We held our last yoga session under Broken Chair on 16 October. These one-hour monthly courses, free and open to all, were held between 12pm and 1pm in front of the United Nations to raise the profile of HI and its connection with the Broken Chair, our “spokesper-son monument”. Five sessions between June and October each attracted 20 to 60 participants, and the Facebook event reaching over 1,000 people.

BOLIVIA: REHABILITATIONAs part of the training of trainers process, the authorities of the Oruro Departmental Health Service trai-ned their peers from the Beni and Pando departments on the manage-ment and application of the RMS or Rehabilitation Management System tool, contextualised for Bolivia with the support of HI. After theoretical and practical training sessions, the application of the tool in the rehabi-litation centres of each department was started in October. This is the first experience of support between the Departmental Health Services, which remains a good practice to be repeated on other occasions, to sup-port the development of rehabilitation services in the country.Valérie Beauchemin – [email protected]
BOLIVIA: DISABILITY AND EMPLOYMENT
The International Conference on Disability and Employment, orga-nized by the Municipal Government of La Paz, was held on 24 and 25 September, and brought together various organizations, institutions, employers and people with disabi-

More than half of premature deaths of people with mental health problems are due to a lack of physi-cal exercise, while one in four people experience a mental health problem during their lifetime.Ara Vanessa Sonia Henri - [email protected]
HAITI: INCLUSIVE RISK AND DISASTER MANAGEMENT
Temporary shelters in certain isolated rural areas of the lower Nord-Ouest department are difficult for public authorities to identify and monitor. The rare buildings suitable for use as shelters were damaged during Hurricane Matthew in 2016. Annual preparations for the hurricane sea-son (June to November) have been complicated by the lack of resources available to local authorities. Five temporary shelters have been repai-red with funding from the City and Metropolitan Area of Lyon in France. Local authorities and the community were closely involved in this process.

SENEGAL: INCLUSIVE SUMMER CAMP The Inclusive Education project orga-nised an inclusive summer camp in the
suburbs of Dakar. It fostered the social inclusion of children with disabilities attending mainstream inclusive schools, including deaf, mute and hard of hea-ring children, and children without disabilities. From Dakar and Ziguinchor, they developed their physical and intel-lectual skills through fun, educational activities in a spirit of mutual support, solidarity and acceptance of diffe-rences. During the camp, parents of disabled children were organised into groups to share their experiences of the at-home support mechanism.Jacob Malé Ndour – [email protected]
SENEGAL: MINE CLEARANCE RESUMES IN CASAMANCE
Mine clearance is set to resume in Casamance after a break of several months, with support from the US State Department and its Political Military-Weapons, Removal and Abatement (PMWRA) scheme. Funding of $450,000 will be used to clear an area of approximately 70,000 sq.m. in the departments of Goudomp and Sédhiou. HI has been working in conjunction with the National Mine Action Committee (CNAMS), which oversees these activities in Senegal, since 1992 to free Casamance of mines and achieve the UN goal of “Zero mines by 2021”.Jacob Malé Ndour – [email protected]

TOGO: ACCESSIBLE POLICE STATION
On 20 September, the Togolese Federation of Disabled People’s Organisations (FETAPH) checked and approved accessibility work - access gallery, ramps and armrests in the data collection rooms and toilets, and Braille signs - carried out in Agouè police station, Lomé, as part of their Inclusive Community Involvement in
the Reconciliation Process project. Implemented with technical support from HI, the works cost €183,000, co-financed by the EU, the Liliane Foundation and HI. Staff were also trained to meet the needs of people with disabilities visiting the police station.Joselyne Gnimassou Sintondji [email protected] TOGO: HYGIENE AND PRISONSome fifty male and female prisoners at Lomé state prison were inter-viewed on 11 July as part of a survey on their hygiene conditions by the Quartiers d’avenir project team. The data collected were used by the Lomé district hygiene service to conduct hygiene awareness sessions the
following day. Prison overcrowding promotes the spread of disease and Lomé prison, which has a capacity for 1,600 inmates, currently houses 6,000 detainees. An assessment was made in October to measure the impact of this awareness raising. More information will be available shortly.Joselyne Gnimassou Sintondji [email protected]
RETIREMENT OF XAVIER LEMIRE FROM REHABILITATION AFTER MORE THAN 30 YEARS OF DEVOTED SERVICE!
Xavier started his career in Thailand in 1985, and then worked in Mozambique for many years before moving to Ethiopia in 1999, and finally settled in Mozambique from where he conducted a series of short missions around the world as a flying technical advisor. He’s been involved in so many missions and programmes it’s impossible to mention them all here! His departure inevitably calls to mind a tragic episode in the history of HI and Xavier, the only survivor of an attack in Afghanistan where HI hoped to begin operations in 1989; the people travelling with him, local technicians and another expatriate, Vincent Gernigon, all died. We orga-nised a special evening event to thank Xavier for his achievements and to
wish him a long and well-deserved retirement! Learn moreIsabelle Urseau – [email protected]
UGANDA: NATIONAL DISABILITY POLICY AND VICTIM ASSISTANCE
HI was invited by the Ministry of Gender, Labour and Social Development of Uganda to participate in the national stakeholder dialogue, “Building on Progress,” in Kampala from 10 to 11 October 2018. The European Union sponsored this stakeholder meeting as part of its global support towards implementa-tion of the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention (APMBC, also referred to as the Ottawa Treaty and it’s Maputo Action Plan. The Dialogue gathered input to inform the renewal of the 2006 Uganda Disability Policy, in accordance with the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities
and the victim assistance obligations of the Ottawa Treaty. Elke Hottentot, Policy Lead Armed Violence Reduction, contributed as a spea-ker and as a facilitator. HI was also represented by colleagues from the HI Uganda Programme.Elke Hottentot – [email protected]
DISABILITY & CLIMATE CHANGEHI wishes to contri-bute to the analysis of vulnerabilities caused by climate-related disaster risks, in a context of worldwide hydro-meteorological changes. Through
this non-exhaustive literary review, HI begins to paint a more accurate account of the vulnerabilities related to climate change, with a particular focus on the situation of people with disabilities. Through several examples, the authors point out how climate change impacts a community’s basic needs during an acute crisis. They also show how climate change chips away at communities’ economic resilience, access to safe housing, and to water during a non-emergency situation. Julien Fouilland – [email protected]
