The “Webinar for Save the Children”, held last Tuesday, Oct. 20, 2020, 1-3 pm, explored the possibilities for Save the Children’s work in the country on disability rights. They invited 2 Best Buddies Ambassadors as speakers. One of them was our very own Nicey Ignacio.

Here is a video of Nicey during the live webinar. She shares with the audience her achievements, interests, and goals in life.

Nicey is a high school student in the Community of Learners. She has Down Syndrome but this does not limit what she can or cannot do. Currently a Best Buddies Ambassador, she is also an active member of the Down Syndrome Association of the Philippines, Inc. (DSAPI) and she has won the crown of Miss Possibilities Asia in 2015. She is an expert at balancing both schoolwork and her OJT work as assistant teacher and office clerk. With music being one of her main interests, she dreams of becoming a professional music teacher in the future.

She definitely is an inspiration to many, proving that, with the right attitude, one can overcome whatever challenges life offers and, thus, achieve great things.
