Sandiswa and Sabelo are Special Olympics Youth Leaders from Swaziland who will lead a Youth Innovation Project to educate individuals about Special Olympics and the inclusion revolution.
Sandiswa and Sabelo will host a series of workshops to young people new to the Special Olympics movement. In these workshops, they will share how Special Olympics Unified Sports programming creates opportunities for individuals with and without intellectual disabilities to participate in interactive sports, fitness, health, and recreational activities that promote social inclusion. Through their project, Sandiswa and Sabelo are excited to educate individuals about intellectual disabilities and opportunities to be inclusive.

Over six months, Sandiswa and Sabelo will host a series of trainings where they will share their stories and reflections to other young people to encourage them to support the growth of Special Olympics programs in Swaziland. By promoting inclusion through these trainings, Sandiswa and Sabelo hope to recruit new Special Olympics Youth Leaders to join the Unified Generation and continue to amplify voices of the inclusion revolution in communities across Swaziland.
