Godspower is a 23-year-old 6th year medical student from Gambia. He has been involved in Special Olympics for 2 years as an Athlete Leader and Unified partner. Most recently, he participated in our Awareness Campaign as a Unified partner, Family Health Forum as a volunteer, and sports training sessions as a volunteer coach. Through his roles, Godspower has become more aware of how inclusive programs and activities improve the lives of persons with and without ID.
Godspower is thrilled to be on the Global Youth Leadership Council as this will give him an opportunity to engage with peers from around the world as well as equip him with ideas on how to advocate for a more inclusive healthcare system in his community. He enjoys sports, music and being of support to his fellow being. He loves being a leader and is looking forward to growing his leadership skills at the international level.
Godspower is a leader of the Unified Generation because he believes that the more inclusive a society is, the more progressive every member of the society will become.
