Lorenza and Matias are siblings and Special Olympics Youth Leaders from Paraguay who are leading a Youth Innovation Project aimed at raising awareness about intellectual disabilities in their community.
Over the course of 6 months, Lorenza and Matias hope to welcome 50 new Youth Leaders. Lorenza wants the Unified Generation to know that is a gift to be a part of this movement. Lorenza was inspired by her brother, Matias to be inclusive and to join him in making a difference in the lives of people with ID and their families in Paraguay. By sharing knowledge and spreading awareness, Lorenza and Matias are inspiring the Unified Generation to spark passion amongst the youth in their community and involve as many people as they can.
