TAWAU: The Tawau Aokam Benevolent Care Centre’s two-storey permanent integrated learning building, which costs RM10 million, is expected to be completed within two years.
The project is still short of RM6 million and the public is urged to continue contributing.
Its vice-chairman Chung Kuan Phin said the new permanent integrated learning building being built would accommodate the increasing number of students and to meet the growing needs of special education development.
The construction is taking place on a three-acre land in Univilla.
The Tawau Aokam Benevolent Care Centre was founded in 1986. It focuses on providing special education for students with Down syndrome, attention deficit disorders, autism, and hearing impairments.
The Centre aims to help them improve their self-care abilities and reduce their families’ burdens; some students have even entered the workforce.
