Weah: Include People with Disabilities in Preventative Actions and Response to the Coronavirus outbreak in LiberiaDear Mr. President,The National Union of Organization of the Disabled (NUOD), an umbrella organization for all Disabled People Organizations in Liberia extends heartfelt greetings on behalf of people with disabilities in Liberia.
