Oiram Alaniz joined me at my law office and we thereafter traveled to the courthouse were we visited with judges and lawyers in Oiram's pursuit to be a lawyer.
We are again participating in National Disability Mentoring Day (NDMD). Mentoring Day was originally sponsored by the American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD), began in 1999 as part of a White House effort to increase the profile of National Disability Employment Awareness Month, celebrated every October. It is a national partnership between the AAPD and the US Department of Labor Office of Disability Employment Policy.
NDMD was patterned after other school-to-work activities such as the National Groundhog Job Shadow day, and began with just three-dozen student participants, mostly in Washington, DC. In 2000, NDMD began to take root in communities across the nation.
It was a great experience and we thank the City of McAllen for their attention to this important excercise. To learn more about NDMD on a national level, visit http://www.dmd-aapd.org.
