Minister of Labour is pleased with the performance of disabled persons who participated in the 6th vocational skill competition, held at MCC Hall in The Mall Ngamwongwan Department Store from March 9-11, noting that his ministry will continue organizing skill competitions for people with disability.

Mr. Phadermchai Sasomsub, Minister of Labour, said during the closing ceremony of the competition that people with disability are as important human resource as normal people. They have shown through private and government skill competitions that they have creativity and capable of working. Ministry of Labour has organized the vocational skill competition for people with disability for six consecutive times to provide a platform for them to show their capability. People with disability showed during this year competition that they had strong will for living and self-improvement, which is a good example for normal people.

“This year’s competition was more success than many had expected. Ministry of Labour, therefore, plans to cooperate with concerned agencies in organizing such a competition to improve skills of people with disability. To promote capability of disabled persons and boos their morale, It will also organize an exhibition to showcase the works of people with disability from this completion as well as events to sell products made by people with disability,” said the labour minister.

Ms. Duangta Wongjinda, the gold-medal winner for the painting contest, said she was delighted for being a representative from the southern region and to have an opportunity to show her ability.

Her work wanted to show the way of living of Thai southerners, which she believe is completely from what people from other regions have seen from the media. People regardless of their religion can live together peacefully, she noted, urging other people with disability who may feel depressed due to being disabled to be strong, saying it is part of their life and they can be happy if they try to live to with it.

Mr. Pirasak Saranrom, the gold-medal winner for the mechanical computer-aided drafting contest, said he was delighted to receive the award after failing twice in the past competitions. He has trained hard for the past ten years to gain experience and improve his skills. He wants to join the competition to show that he is no less capable than other persons. He urged people with disability to become strong, saying there are people who are more unfortunate than them and they must try to live in the society so that they do not become burden of their family and the society.

It consists of 15 contests including dress-making for men, dress-making for women, knitting, crocheting, threading beads, embroidering, painting, computer-aided poster design, computer assembling, creating document on computer, mechanical computer-aided drafting, electronics, creating useful items from unwanted items, flower making and cloth-painting.
