What is my mission?

I am a firm believer in making the most out of life. Very few people can achieve on their own. With people with disabilities, it is often the reverse and they need much more human resources to accomplish duties as well as goals. The reason I have chosen to train people is because I believe everybody should have the right to have a fun, individualistic life.

These workshops are to draw comparisons between non-disabled people and people with physical disabilities. From these comparisons, I can explore ways to enhance enabling people with disabilities to have individualism and uniqueness. There could be many factors why people with disabilities find it difficult to participate fully in the world and this is due to physical and social barriers within society.

My aims

To develop a deeper understanding of disability.

Enabling non-disabled people to look at situations from the perspective of someone with a disability.

Encouraging positive thinking amongst both non-disabled people and people with disabilities about challenging issues such as personal identity and equality.

Assisting people to overcome physical and social barriers.

Helping and guiding people with physical disabilities to achieve what they want out of their lives and to be individuals.


My view on life and disability

I have lots of interesting views on certain topics. For more information about my philosophy on life and disability issues, click here.
