Keywords: {0}

Thanks to all of ABILITAS.ID’s team, the project has seen so many developments and breakthroughs in just one year. We now have 85 students, seven school partners, four programs, 104 volunteers, and seven sponsors. These achievements would have never happened if Radhe and Feni decided to abandon their visions and never created ABILITAS.ID purpose.

I was learning about disability history that I had never been taught before. I was learning about the laws that enabled me to have a seat in a world class university lecture hall as a blind student. Most important, I felt like I was given the permission to celebrate and embrace my disability. I felt empowered.
