Hear What Others Say

I am thankful for the RP EAE award. It motivates me to reach towards my goal of becoming a head bowling coach for persons with disabilities. I have a foster brother who has Cerebral Palsy and this awakened my passion to help people with disabilities through sports.

RP’s unique Problem-based Learning (PBL) approach was one of the key reasons why I’d chosen to join RP via EAE. Through PBL, I’ve gained strong problem-solving skills and have been able to apply these skills effectively in practical scenarios!
