I am Deaf participated and the first time that she is an amazing her own business since she built her company in 7 years. That is really awesome and good stability in her business. After the session that, we have frequently asked questions (FAQ) with her in several minutes. Eventually, I believed that she has a lot of experiences through her 7 years and support her that she will be building a big company from a small company.

We thanked Samuel Chew as well for interpreting for a hearing community. The hearing participants had fun and learned something from her role model in the business of Malaysia. And they are an awareness that the Deaf women can do her own business. We hope that this workshop will bring great benefits and the greater chance for our new business one day.
