2. Second activity is Leading University Education Scholarship program for PWDs. After High school they can apply to University Education Scholarship. This is great opportunity for PWDs.

3. Third Activity is facilitating Job Opportunity for PWDs. Our country, Myanmar very difficult to get the job for PWDs. Now, we are working together "call center" under Blue Ocean Operating Management Company. Call Center means "what you want to know, you can ask there" address and phone number etc. Now, 17 PWDs got the job and working there. Another one place is MAB Bank, 3PWDs working in MAB Bank. MAB Bank is very actively encouraging to PWDs.
