8-11 October, 2019: WAFCAT held the 2nd ICE-CREAM CAMP. There were 22 students in wheelchairs and 8 parents joined the camp. This camp aimed to provide the opportunity for students to have experience in using public transportation “BTS&MRT” in Bangkok, including visit and learn about the organization for people with disabilities (1) the Foundation of Asia-Pacific Development Center on Disability and (2) Sufficient Economy Agricultural Project of the Association of Empowerment of Thai Persons with Disabilities in Suphanburi.

 “This is the first time for me to join WAFCAT’s camp since I just became WAFCAT’s scholar this year. It is the good experience to me. I was very excited to come to Bangkok by train. Then I was more excited in using BTS and MRT with the support from elder students from the Faculty of Physical Therapy and Sport Medicine, Rangsit University. I had learnt to live with other friends from many places. It is a precious time to me” Mr. Jaturon Kamyai, Vocational School 1 said at the post training ceremony.
