We should all play a part of making people with disabilities part of our community and social environment. Not only the disabled, but also the underprivileged. We shouldn't shun them away just because they are 'special'. After all, they didn't choose to be created the way they are.
Here at SIFE, we want to help these kinds of people. Help them develop a set of skills so that they can become independent. To live life like a normal person would. If you know of any such person or organization that you think we should be linked up with, do let us know.
Be it helping them enhance their existing business, or setting up a new one. Or even if it is just helping them develop a skill, SIFE Taylor's wants to be with them ALL the way.
Check this coffee shop out: DIB Coffees of Hawaii Cafe. This coffee franchise employs deaf people to give them a chance to live normally. They are located at: 11-A, Jalan PJU 8/5A, Bandar Damansara Perdana 47820, Petaling Jaya. Head on out there one day to try to taste their dishes, i'm hoping to go there once I have the chance. These guys were featured in The Star and Deaf Boleh Malaysia.
Check them out and let us know the juicy details [of the food, of course] ;)

[NOTE: This is NOT a SIFE Taylor's project, I am merely pointing out how deaf people can be empowered :)]
PS. Happy Friday the Thirteenth
This is certainly a great idea.
