Previous winner of a National Disability Award Sereako Treloggen, was born with Cerebral Palsy, a physical disability that can affect muscle control, coordination, body movement, reflex, posture and balance. His disability hasn’t stopped him from following his dreams.

Here is his opinion on International Day of People with Disability;

“To me International Day of People with Disability is about recognising different disabilities and breaking down barriers, about meeting different people with disability around the country and bringing them together, giving them a voice. It’s about understanding that everyone is different and has their own identity.”
