WAFCAT E-Newsletter Vol. 120: February 2021

Due to the second wave of COVID-19 from the end of December 2020, all sectors are required to strengthen safety measures to reduce the risk the infection. Many social organizations, including WAFCAT, have to adjust the way of working to continue their activities. For example, WAFCAT organized several online video-call meetings to follow-up with our grantee students with disabilities about their schooling. We also discussed online with teachers of 3 provincial special education centers to exchange information on wheelchair service provision for children with disabilities
