They may not crack the mainstream too often, but many Belizeans are faced with crippling disabilities that make everyday life a daily challenge. However many of these people defy the odds by learning to live with their disability and lead a productive life. These stories are not just moving but they are also inspirational. Narcie - which is the National Resource Center for Inclusive Education - is now encouraging disabled persons to share their stories. They have opened a competition called the "I Am Able Video" competition. Dr. Candy Armstrong from Narcie gave us details:
Candice Armstrong, NARCIE Volunteer
"It is a video competition that is geared toward highlighting the life or lives of someone living with a disability and the challenges they overcome so it is supposed to be like an inspirational. Moving something that would motivate someone who has a disability or someone who does not have a disability to realize that this person can do it why can't I."
"The video is supposed to be about someone with a disability so it is able students from each district whatever district does not matter doing a video about a person with a disability."
If you are interested in entering the competition you can call or text 615- 0404. The deadline for entry is on Friday.
