Over the course of a year, Sameer and Muhammad will attend business administration and finance classes and do market research as they prepare to open their Unified restaurant. Along with a team of 15 Youth Leaders with and without intellectual disabilities, Sameer and Muhammad will work to plan the project. Sameer and Muhamad will employ 25 Special Olympics athletes along with their Unified partners in the kitchen at Eatoo. Sameer and Muhammad‘s eventual goal is to expand Eatoo across Pakistan, but for now their flagship location will create an environment that exemplifies the future of the Unified Generation.
