The photos hung in wheelchair wheels attracted many comments. They showed clearly what buildings are easy for people with disability and what makes things very hard. So NOt also produced an animated video which hopefully makes some building owners happy and some ashamed. "I hope some are ashamed enough to make their buildings accessible" said Sak Sopheak, one of the team.
