I think i already have a couple advocacy videos and they do great works and it took some effort with their local networks to get some paving done. There is a park in taipei that has a water fall that is very beautiful that for a long time it was unaccessible. They worked out with other advocates to get that park paved from all the way to the water fall and have beautiful ramps to restrooms and a bridge, a ramp that goes all the way around so someone with a mobility device can go there with a loved one and share that moment of the water fall.
