Cikgu Azam worked in an IT department. At the same time, he had a side job where he prepared activities for school children with special needs.
In 2007, during a program, he succeeded in helping a boy with cerebral palsy (脑瘫) . " While I was assisting him, I could see the tears of joy coming from his parents who were there with us as well," he said. "If you had more expert knowledge, you'd help more people," his friends told him. With that, he went back to school to get a degree in special education.
In 2009, he became a special education teacher in a school. Trained to help students with cerebral palsy, when he came to the school in the first year, he was surprised to learn that he would also be teaching blind students. However, he did not back down in the face of such pressure. Cikgu took the time to educate himself on what would best help his students.
"It's disappointing to see they are so used to their closed environment. It's not because they are disabled, but because they don't have the courage explore the outside world that has caused them to be depressed. " He changed this by helping them run, simply putting his hands on their shoulders to guide them. One of his students, Nur Yusrina Alisya, won several awards in sporting events.
But as he's gotten older, it's difficult to keep up with them. "So, one day, I saw one student pushing a foldable trolley （推车）and the idea suddenly came to mind, "he said. Ever since then, Cikgu has made it his mission to create an even better device. He's built Caballus RAFVI which is named after a blind but brave horse. "My students need it so they can participate in sporting activities. I'll try to improve it, he said. "I'm going to stick with my job though I'm getting older.
