CGI and OP flagged off a customized school bus

Later in the day, together, CGI and OP flagged off a customized school bus that serves students of Welfare Association for the Rehabilitation of the Disabled and Society (WARDS), a non-government organization supporting students with intellectual disabilities from underprivileged backgrounds.

CGI originally set up a digital laboratory for the school to promote inclusion and digital literacy. With the expansion of the support to include transportation to address challenges traveling to school, students will now have the opportunity to learn and grow.
