About The Story

Disabilities donโ€™t define a personโ€™s potential. With determination and perseverance, many have achieved greatness despite their challenges. Zanele Situ lost the use of her limbs due to a spinal illness at a very young age, yet, went on to becoming a Paralympic gold medallist and broke the world record for javelin throw. She reminds us, โ€œIf you have a disability, you can still do something you love.โ€ Similarly, in the story The Song in Her Heart, Ringluia, though deaf, masters the traditional Cheraw dance, relying not on listening to the musicโ€™s beat but on her unwavering passion and determination. These stories show that obstacles of many kinds can be overcome, offering us powerful examples of human strength and potential.
