Jakarta, June 20, 2023 - BCA Berbagi Ilmu Program continued its series of activities by extending its support to individuals who have disabilities. Through an event titled "I'm Capable," PT Bank Central Asia Tbk (BCA) joined forces with Precious One to arrange various initiatives.

With the spirit of #GenerasiPastiBisa, the "I'm Capable" event encompassed various activities, one of which was the Disability Empowerment Bazaar. This bazaar served as a platform to exhibit and sell a diverse range of products and artworks crafted by individuals with disabilities from the Dewijaya Care, Precious One, and Precious Family communities. The displayed items range from food, toys, beauty products, handicrafts, to fashion. The event attracted hundreds of visitors, including BCA employees, and almost all the showcased products were sold out, generating substantial revenue for the participating individuals with disabilities.
Furthermore, the "I'm Capable" program also included seminars, designed for both BCA employees and individuals with disabilities. Specifically tailored for BCA employees, a seminar titled "Aku Sahabat Disabilitas" was conducted, which addressed topics related to disability awareness, including fostering effective and appropriate communication with individuals with disabilities. Conversely, individuals with disabilities could attend a seminar titled "The Power of Communication," which centered on harnessing the potential of social media to improve their communication, both for personal use and for business endeavors.
