They cooperated and are willing to learn the concept of IL and peer counseling so they can use it as leaders of DPOs. Evaluation: The participants are leaders of DPOs from different parts of region 3. Some are even government workers working for disability-related programs and services. We noticed their interest in the workshop as they enrich their knowledge with new ideas different from what they are learning from other workshops. We also noticed that the workshop made their relationship closer as compared to other activities they are doing together. We could say that peer counseling always does wonders in human relationship and very important in building friendships and good working relationship.
