#TheFuturelsHere for inclusion, and it’s powered by each and every one of us! Here’s a throwback to some of the key highlights from Asia Pacific at the recent #SpecialOlympics World Winter Games in Turin, Italy.As Dipak Natali, President & Managing Director, Special Olympics Asia Pacific, puts it, games like this, offer us a chance of stability in these times of uncertainty and turmoil. “Stability in community, stability in understanding each other, allowing each other really to be not thinking about things in black or white, but really what the beautiful spectrum of life should be. I think that’s what we stand for, and celebrating that here, today and over the last few weeks, has just been amazing.”#ChooseToInclude
