One day I met Agnes. She is a very good English teacher.
She walks using crutches on both sides of the arms.
When I went for the music show, I met with Mosa. He is a music DJ at all shows.
Mosa has albinism. He has problems with his eyes.
My neighbour is Ms. Nerima. Her legs are crippled but is a prominent farmer in the village.
Mosa has a problem with hearing. He speaks with Sign language.
Mosa is the best soccer player in the whole village. I like watching him play.
Mosa had an accident with his hands. But he can win matches with his feet!
Now I know that even people with challenges can do anything!
I will tell my friend Jackie not to give up.
Hurray! We can all do everything in life! No one is disable in this world.
