Achievements self-advocates 

Khushboo, a self-advocate who once felt shy and hesitant to join groups, has taken a leap of faith – literally! She recently embarked on a thrilling adventure to Rishikesh, where she conquered her fears and soared through the skies with a daring paragliding experience.

This incredible journey exemplifies Khushboo's personal growth and commitment to inclusion. In the past, she might have shied away from such an experience. However, with a supportive network and a determination to challenge her comfort zone, Khushboo embraced the opportunity and discovered the joy of adventure.

Khushboo's story serves as an inspiration to others with disabilities. It demonstrates the power of self-advocacy and the importance of creating inclusive spaces where everyone feels empowered to explore their passions and potential.

We're delighted to celebrate Aanchal's phenomenal achievement at the recent Special Olympics Bharat! Aanchal, a passionate badminton player, took to the court and impressed everyone with her talent and dedication. Her unwavering focus and countless hours of practice culminated in a well-deserved first-place finish!

Aanchal's Own Words: A Journey of Passion and Perseverance

"Hey everyone," Aanchal shares her excitement, "I'm still buzzing from the amazing time I had at the Special Olympics Bharat! Badminton has always been my favourite sport, and getting to compete there was a dream come true."

Describing her experience, Aanchal continues, "Being on the court, facing other players who shared my passion, it felt electric! There were some tough rallies, but I gave it my all with every smash and every clear. The feeling of winning first place – well, it's hard to describe! Pure joy, maybe? Or maybe just pure relief after all those hours of practice!"

Beyond the trophy, Aanchal highlights a deeper significance, "But the best part, even better than the trophy, was the feeling of accomplishment. It showed me what I'm capable of, and that feeling is incredible."

Gratitude and Looking Ahead

Aanchal expresses her gratitude, "This win isn't just mine, though. I want to thank my coach, who pushed me to be my best, and my family and friends who cheered me on every step of the way."

Looking forward, Aanchal is fueled by her success, "This is just the beginning for me. This win has fueled my fire, and I can't wait to see what the future holds on the badminton court!"
