Disabled Worker Project |
Working with ‘Armada Orient', a local furniture manufacturer & exporter, the project to provide work training and employment to local disabled people is going from strength to strength. The local Organisation for Disabled People - ‘Interaksi' helped find four unemployed disabled people to start the project. These four have now been working for the past few months fixing up unfinished and broken furniture items donated by ‘P.T. Rumah Masa Depan (Deco France)'. ‘Armada Orient' has kindly provided warehouse space and skilled staff to help run the project and train the disabled workers. The quality of the products coming out is excellent and many customers at the Charity Shop, where the items are being sold, are leaving their telephone numbers and asking to be notified when new finished items will be delivered. The Charity Shop itself is becoming better known in the city and monthly turnover continues to rise slowly, providing increasingly more help towards running the Children's Refuge. Many thanks to all the supporters of the Charity Shop and Disabled Worker Project. |
