1-buffet-for-change – How will a buffet ticket contribute to make changes to the community? Especially for students with disabilities?
According to a survey conducted by the Ministry of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs in 2007, less than 0.1% of people with disabilities (PWDs) graduated from colleges and universities. Besides barriers due to a lack of access of the majority of university environments, economic difficulties will create a important risk for students with disabilities, to have to stop school. Many students have stepped into the doorway of the University, but many have to give up their dreams because they cannot afford fee tuition and living expenses when living away from home.
With the belief that if the opportunity is given, people with disabilities (even the most serious ones) can become useful citizens who can build up an effective community, the Disability Research And Capacity Development Center (DRD) launched a scholarship program named “Companion Fellowship Program” in April 2008. As of December 31, 2016, this Companion Fellowship Scholarship Program provided scholarships for 373 students. The students who graduated have sufficient expertise, skills and stable employment. Some of them even hold high positions in companies, they have happy families and have a certain position in society; for example, Le Minh Duy (Young Director of Cogini Vietnam), Nguyen Minh Hao (Project Manager of Anable Code Company), PhanThi Rat (Project Officer), Hoang Van Thu (Pharmedic Officer) ... as well as many other successful cases.
One scholarship has made a lot of positive changes for youth with disabilities so that they will not only be able to achieve their dream, but also continue this beautiful journey by sharing with other children with disabilities.
DRD wants to call on the community to work together to create more meaningful scholarships.
On April 16, Bat Nha vegetarian food restaurant came with the idea to organize a vegetarian buffet to raise scholarships for students with disabilities. Each ticket is sold at the reasonable price of 150,000 VND. After deducting the costs, the money will be donated to the DRD companion scholarship fund!
