Any chance of adding closed captions to your web cast? Or else providing a transcript for it? As a deaf person, I cannot view it otherwise.
Thanks.

I believe that it would not be possible to end the poverty of this region without proper utilization of resources. By resources I mean, not only the natural resources but also the donations provided by the World Bank and other international organizations. The donations received by the donors are not utilized properly, instead it becomes a source of income for those who are responsible for its implementation. This should be checked strictly by the donors itself.
