“Before I volunteered in the National Youth Corps, I often felt inadequate. I am blind in one eye, and so I lived in a kind of isolation. But now, in spite of my disability and my suffering, I feel I can be a leader. I feel important, and I feel like my life is better, because now I’m working to improve the lives of others…through Ruwwad youth-led projects”.
