@mpindibumali, president of the Uganda Paralympic Committee, presents his Action Plan to empower disabled military veterans in #Uganda through sports. He was mentored by @johnfregister at @TeamUSA/@USParalympics. “Many people discouraged my family not to send me to school because of my disability. When I went to school, many of my classmates abused me. But, I persevered. I graduated. I got married. I earned employment. Years later, I was elected president of the National Paralympic Committee. My story proves that having a disability does not stop your dream. I am still realizing my dreams today. Now I want to use sports to empower people w/ disabilities in Uganda to advocate for their rights, develop and promote social inclusion. Through the vehicle of sport, we will enhance knowledge of human rights and equal opportunity.” 🇺🇬💪 #S4C2018 #sportsdiplomacy #sport4all #uganda #paralympics #woundedwarriors #disability #inclusion
