Starting as a small act of kindness, Laguna-based handcraft business Harl鈥檚 has been continuously hiring and training people with disability (PWDs) after helping a street dweller in Santa Rosa.
In an interview, Harley Dave B. Beltran, founder of Harl鈥檚, told 大象传媒 he hopes to encourage other small businesses to be more inclusive in their workforces and establishments.
鈥淗indi mo kailangan maging isang multibillionaire company para mag hire ka ng PWD [You don鈥檛 need to become a multibillion company to hire PWDs],鈥 he said.
鈥淟ook at me, look at us. This is just like a backyard production, but we were able to provide something for our community. We should help one another,鈥 he added.
