Yasmine Hassane
My name is Yasmine Hassane, I’m 19 years old and in grade 12 in Sphinx International School
I’m a swimming champion and participated in all National Special Olympics championships since the age of 10.
I also travelled in 2018 to the Regional Special Olympics Games in Abu Dhabi and won 3 gold medals.
I am also a member of the Athlete Leaders Council and I attended the first and second National Forum for Young Leaders in 2020 and 2021.
I am also - a leader player and a health representative - and I participated in the training course for leaders as health representatives in December 2021
And the last thing I participated in was the Technology Training Center course in the beginning of 2022 and I was very happy because I love computers very much and learned a lot of new things.
