Dear Alhassan’s Donors,
We do highly thank you for your last donation. You have supported in the change of the physically challenged people’s life. Sports and Arts project is a vital project as it encourages the concepts of inclusion and independence. This project raises self-esteem and confidence for the physically challenged person.
We will share with you two amazing stories for two differently-abled people whom overcame their obstacles and decided to be an active member in their society. Ziad is 9 years old, he is in the 2nd grade. He suffers from Cerebral Palsy. This medical case affects his stability and mobility. By knowing our foundation, Ziad started to join Swimming training preparations for Paralympics. He became a young champion! He won two Golden Medals. He says: “I wanted to be an Egyptian champion in swimming and to become a trainer for all physically challenged people”.
The second successful story is about Zainab, a very talented artistic lady. She had a car accident 3 years ago and became Paraplegic*(*means losing sensation and movement in the lower body). After joining our foundation, we offered her a course for learning drawing and painting. Because of your support, Zainab was able to join the course and started her first journey. She dreams of becoming a famous painter and she have her own shop now.
Lately, we won an honorary award of Zero Project Conference 2019 to acknowledge that we are sustainable in our mission and vision and we are always seeking for the betterment of life for physically challenged people through changing their disability into ability. This Award ceremony was held in the UN premises in Vienna which focused on Independent Living and Political Participation. This honorary award is not only for us, it is for you as well our donor. Congratulations for all of us. We encourage you to continue supporting us and staying loyal donor to our causes through subscribing to a monthly recurring donation option. That will help wheelchair users in Egypt be more independent and successful. Please visit our Facebook page to read other success stories:
