Public awareness needs to be raised about the active role that persons with disabilities have in the society. A humanitarian event took place on Macedonia Square for that purpose.
The event was part of “Equal Access through Service Learning for Persons with Disabilities” project supported by the Macedonian American Alumni Organization. People with disabilities who are talented painters, singers or athletes took part in the event.

US Amb. Paul Wohlers and paraolympics gold medal winner Olivera Nakovska Bikova: “You are an inspiration not only for people with disabilities but also for all citizens of Macedonia.”
We should focus on their personality and not on their disability – said Maja Ivanova, Macedonian President’s wife.
