Sara Gadalla

"I hope the campaign will reach every child in my country, so that everybody grows up healthy."

"Let your children get the vaccination against polio. A small dose will prevent a big disaster."

"If I could change anything, then it would be the way society looks at people with different disabilities."

"The difficulties and stigma I faced due to polio challenged me and turned me into the Sara Gadalla that I am."

"I suffered a lot from the negative way people in my community looked at me when I was a little girl and as a teenager, and certainly I felt very sad and in all the stages of my life as I tried to overcome the feeling that I was less than the other girls. But, thank God and thanks to my family, I could overcome that."

"One of the most difficult things for a child, is to be among other children, but feel different, in a country where disability is a stigma."
