“Just weeks before the talk, Mikhail didn’t have what it took to speak in front of so many people. But that day on stage, he was calm and spoke confidently about wanting to give back to the community.“He loves what he’s learned, especially the first aid training, which he was so excited to tell us about. His new role as a Care2Run Junior Coach has also been a motivating factor for him,” says the proud mother. Mikhail has stopped schooling but now attends coding classes.
“He has an aptitude for computers and computer games. And he gets excited at the thought of being able to monetise his interests. To me, if these things can present viable career options, then why not. Let’s give it shot,” Mazuin said.RYTHM Foundation sponsors Mikhail and differently-abled young people like him by providing scholarships for them to take part in a transformational sports programme through Care2Run.
