Various NGOs were also present at the occasion, speakers at the closing of the event praised Ghanim for his determination and grit.
Ghanim is not only an inspiration for people with disabilities but also to people who are physically fit.
Ghanim has also featured in the ‘My Incredible Story’ as a youth ambassador that was launched by the Organising Committee to highlight the obstacles and challenges faced by differently abled individuals.
In addition to being an aspiring paralympian, Ghanim has already established himself as a philanthropist and an entrepreneur.
