The House of Representatives hosted "A Different Odysseus" at the House of Citizens as part of activities and initiatives for the International Day of Persons with Disabilities. The book by George Panagiotou, which is an autobiography through his personal experiences and the daily difficulties he faces as a person with disabilities, was presented by the President of the House of Representatives, Mrs. Anita Demetriou.
The Speaker of the House of Representatives expressed her admiration for the commendable effort of George Panagiotou, while praising his fortitude and mental strength, as he found the courage, like a modern-day Odysseus among us, to record his daily struggle, becoming a shining example and delivering life lessons to all of us.
Such efforts, Ms Demetriou said, should be highlighted and utilized as they contribute greatly to our goal and aspirations to achieve equality in all areas. The House of Representatives will always be a supporter of initiatives that enhance the vision of an accessible world with equal opportunities and equal rights.
