After Eric’s term as president<br />

of the Rotary Club, his desire<br />

to help PWDs didn’t stop.<br />

“I told myself that even if<br />

I’m no longer the president<br />

of the Rotary Club, in my<br />

own initiative, I’ll create<br />

opportunities for the PWDs.<br />

Thus, Ka Inato came,” he<br />

narrated.<br />

for PWDs to have equal opportunities for employment<br />

and empowering them to help their families as well,<br />

Yayen started employing 11 PWDs at Ka Inato.<br />

“At first, it was really challenging. I don’t have any idea<br />

about their culture. And my former staff have hesitations<br />

accepting them. I need to explain to them why I’m<br />

employing PWDs. Eventually, they accepted my reason<br />

and my advocacy,” he said.<br />

Ka Inato started its operation<br />

on January 18, <strong>2018</strong>, with only<br />

15 tables to accommodate<br />

60 persons.<br />
