Goal for the Year

It is the wish of the founder that on her 40th birthday which is 18/04/2022. to set up these families in creative entrepreneurship. To support raising these children with special needs. When the children are brought to the center to acquire skills, the parent must also be engaged in some entrepreneurship. For a better livelihood and social inclusion. Having a child with a disability is not and must not be a gateway to poverty. They are “Our children, Our Testimony”

Dr. Petra Karlsson Motivation

Being in a wheelchair has not stopped me from doing what I love, salsa dancing. I have won a spot in the World Latin Dance Cup and will be competing in December. The first dancer in a wheelchair to qualify in the limitless division. Anything is possible if you put your mind to it.
