Dear all Alhassan Foundation’s friends, believers & supporters,
We are proud to tell you that we are effectively changing minds and facing stereotypes. Changing preconceived ideas & inherited beliefs that are acquired through generations is the most challenging in any society. Social awareness is crucial in our societies to fight prejudges and stereotype. Not only that, but also we are keenly working on resisting discrimination against people with physical challenges, and promote diversity.
Last month we were invited to represent Wheelchair users (The Differently Abled) in a ceremony organized by an international school in Egypt to raise the awareness of their students about people with disabilities and how they can be successful and inspiring.
One of our amazing members his name is Bilal; a talented young man who is performing beautiful musical shows and playing beatboxing & flute represented young wheelchair users in this inspiring event and all the students loved him so much.
Please watch Bilal performance in the Facebook link below:

Bilal is also a young athlete and he had several achievements as a swimmer in many contests & championships in Egypt. Bilal is a confident accomplished young man who has never defined himself as a disabled person. Bilal sees himself as a young talent that thrive to be a famous performer one day. We hope that we can convey our message to encourge all wheelchair users and all PWDs in Egypt and all over the world to stand up for themselves and never submit to bullying or dissapointements.
We would like to thank each and every one of you for your support. We urge you to continue supporting our cause and stay loyal donors to our cause through subscribing to a monthly recurring donation option. That will help wheelchair users in Egypt be more confident and accomplished. Please visit our Facebook page to read other success stories:
