Nadira Puteri Kusaeni *)
Getting involved in social activities is not the first time for me. My school’s presidency (OSIS) has several social activities, like teaching unlucky children, giving money to the poor, and many more. But being a volunteer that can go abroad, representing our country, is a brand new thing. It must be a brand new thing for the other people, too.
I am now the Youth Leader of Special Olympics Indonesia (SOIna). SOIna is a sports organization for people with intellectual disabilities, e.g. Down syndrome, autism, etc. It all started when my physical education teacher informed me that there was this open recruitment for high school students under 17 to become SOIna’s Youth Leader. She said that SOIna needed someone capable to represent the Indonesian youth for the Special Olympics Global Youth Activation Summit (GYAS) in Athens, Greece.
