A video sharing some of our moments during our workshop with the children at Queen's School and College.

We conducted a small workshop for school children at Queen’s School and College at their
Zigatola Campus in Dhaka, on Thursday, November 15, 2018.
It was a good workshop where the young children got to learn a lot and took an oath to become
ambassadors of our campaign’s mission – to treat all people with any kind of disability with
dignity and respect and to stand up for them at all times.
For our campaign, we wanted to get all information absolutely correct before we shared it. For that, we were fortunate enough to have Dr. Nafeesur Rahman to consult for us so we could present factual data and information with the world.
In this video, Dr. Rahman shares a lot of details about disability in Bangladesh, including the definition. classification, what the situation currently is and what is being done about it, how hate-speech affects people with disabilities, and about understanding and empathy towards those with disabilities.
Dr. Rahman is Disability & Development specialist who has been working in the field for close to 3 decades both in Bangladesh and internationally. Dr. Rahman is an Eisenhower Fellow and the former Director of National Forum of Organizations Working with the Disabled (NFOWD), where he served in the role from 2002-2016. Over the many years, he has worked for various highly esteemed organizations such as ActionAid Bangladesh (AAB), Center for Disability and Development Center (CDD), GIZ, Oxfam, National Institute of Opthalmalogy, the Specialized Hospital (Pvt.) Ltd. and for the Government of Myanmar.
