We are Amazing Advocates and We are Awesome.
DSFI is proud to bring this series of 21 articles from March 1 2022 to March 21 2022 about our self-advocates. Through their hard work and never-say-die spirit, our advocates are time and again proving their mettle. They do not know the meaning of “Giving-up”. However much someone wants to paint them as disabled, they move on undeterred and shine in their area of interest.
Be prepared to be inspired every day as we present our Amazing Advocates each day till the 21st of March.
