Fatima Al Bulooshi from the UAE, a person of determination, is an inspiring example of strength and willpower. She noted that the positive environment in Dubai was a decisive factor in driving her towards excellence. Al Bulooshi explained that her participation in community events and initiatives, such as the 'Takatof' program for distributing iftar meals during Ramadan, was a source of joy for her. She also supervised volunteer teams in cooperation with the Rahma Charity Association to distribute 800 weekly meals to needy families in Ras Al Khaimah, considering community participation the best way to integrate people of determination into society.
Her activities are not limited to volunteering; they also include sports and equestrianism. She practiced weightlifting and shooting, obtaining an international Grad3 classification in the UK, becoming the first equestrian of determination in the UAE. She stated that the challenges were significant, such as finding a suitable saddle, but thanks to horseback riding support programs and continuous assistance, she managed to achieve the feat and open a new page in her athletic life.
Al Bulooshi added that social media played a pivotal role in conveying her message, as she has 88,000 followers. She said, "I use my platforms to raise awareness about the capabilities of people of determination and highlight social issues, as well as participate in specialized forums on media and artificial intelligence," which helped her develop her skills and enhance her international presence. Al Bulooshi confirmed that she learned to drive a car specially designed for people of determination, which gave her greater freedom and independence, and that her polio injury did not prevent her from living her life normally and achieving her ambitions.
Fatima Al Bulooshi directed a message to people of determination, saying: "Disability is not a reason to stop... dream and strive to achieve your dreams, will creates miracles, and faith in God opens doors." She confirmed that she aspires to the future, and her next goal is to participate in the 2028 Paralympic Games in Los Angeles in weightlifting to raise the UAE flag at international forums. Success stories that inspire the community are not told just for admiration, but to encourage others to dream and pursue their goals, no matter how big the difficulties may seem.
