"Special Olympics brings joy to children. This is the most important thing. To recruit the children, we have to start with the families first. Bringing awareness to the families is the first step."
For the past six years, Machakos' Margaret Mbithi has been involved with Special Olympics Kenya on behalf of her niece, 25-year-old Salim Twalib, who competes in the 400m and 200m athletics event. Active in her community and readily addressing the topic of people with mental retardation, Mbithi has served as a coach and an inspiring leader for Special Olympics athletes. Like numerous people in different parts of the word, many Africans have misconceptions about those with mental retardation, which Mbithi is glad to dispel. As a Global Family Leader, Mbithi plans to focus on athlete recruitment and retention by helping facilitate new family connections.
