He said the United Nations fully recognised people living with disabilities in families and communities.
Sopera made the call during World Disability Day celebrations in Bulolo on Monday. The actual day was last Sunday, Dec 3.
Association executives carried out an awareness programme in Bulolo.
Board chairman Gibson Pakiabi urged individual family members to take good care and fully support people living with disabilities in homes and communities.
