## Caption

Joel's journey has been marked by challenges no child should have to face.

Forced to flee his home, living in a refugee settlement, and often excluded because of his intellectual disability, Joel's world changed when he found Special Olympics.

Through sport, he found teammates, belonging, and a community that saw his abilities.

Every child deserves the chance to be included.
