'Sunshine workshop' helps people with disabilities stitch brighter future in Zhanang county, SW China's Xizang
Pasang Dawa, a tailor with a physical disability, carefully guided two pieces of dark blue fabric under a needle in a clothing processing workshop named "Sunshine workshop" in Zhanang county, Shannan city, southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region.
Earning a monthly salary of 4,500 yuan ($616.44), the 38-year-old is able to support his family and has become a role model among young people in his village.
Before taking on the job, he once felt his life had lost direction—"like a kite with a broken string," as he put it.
"Now I can even teach new workers to use the overlock machines," he said, proudly showing off a certificate of honor recognizing him as a "key employee."
