Hana and Laila are Special Olympics Youth Leaders from Egypt who participated in the 2019 Global Youth Leadership Summit.
Over the course of six months, Hana and Laila will advocate for the creation and implementation of Unified Clubs, Unified Schools, and Unified Championship School programs in their local schools and universities. By hosting Unified Sports events at schools throughout Egypt, Hana and Laila will bring attention to their anti-bulling campaign and increase understanding and inclusion for youth with intellectual disabilities. Hana and Laila will work to train teachers and administrators in the schools they are working with to equip them with the tools, strategies, and resources necessary to carry out Special Olympics programs and guide the new Unified Generation.
