Faithʼs journey and the love of a mother
ON BEHALF OF VOICE of the Disabled, we send our warmest congratulations to Faith Grant, her mother,Yolanda Grant, their family and the dedicated educators. God has blessed Faith, kept her and provided guidance along the way. With a mother who has been passionate and persistent, Faith successfully completed her primary education and ultimately showed the country that all people are capable of achieving greatness, despite differences.
Nearly ten years ago, Mrs. Cheryl Adams and Ms.Yolanda Grant were introduced to one another by Sister Samuel, who served as Programme Coordinator for an annual event recognising persons with disabilities at Calder Adventist Church. This introduction would begin a friendship that blossomed and grew into partnership. As a parent of a child with a visual impairment, Ms. Grant recognised the importance of educating herself, connecting with a supportive community, and seeking out the proper resources.
Ms. Grant was invited to become a member of Voice of the Disabled. Shortly after joining the organisation, she was assigned to the role of Public Relations Officer, and served as Parent Group Coordinator. Throughout her time at VOD, she delivered training for teachers and parents, and along with Mrs. Adams, worked collaboratively with the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Education and the International Council for Education of People with Visual Impairment.
