International Day for Persons with Disabilities: The power of finding your voice
Maria Alexandrova is a 18-year-old student from Vratsa, Bulgaria, who lives with cerebral palsy. In 2018, she successfully challenged the University of Cambridge to adapt its Advanced English examination to her specific needs, becoming the first person with cerebral palsy in Bulgaria to ever try and successfully take the exam. She is marking the International Day of Persons with Disabilities advocating for other people in her condition to have better access to quality education and employability.
