The core objective of Eagle Samana is to enhance the knowledge of teachers who work with disabled children, through a series of regular region-wide workshops and training modules featuring recognised resource persons in the field of special education.

This workshop will also include mainstream pre-school teachers as well.

This initiative will ensure that these children will be benefited by the development of their teachers’ knowledge and capability in relation to; education, moulding a well-balanced personality and facilitating psychological welfare and stability to enable them to harness their potential.
