I am Safa Abbasi, known as a storyteller, I am 33 years old from Irbid.
I indeed have a physical disability, but my physical limitations have never been an obstacle to my dreams and practicing my life like all people. Challenges and obstacles taught me and encourage me to develop myself and work in all fields.
One of my hobbies is drawing and designing handicrafts and singing.
My hobbies were the base which built the stone for changing and developing myself where I was able to communicate with the community from associations, institutions, and organizations.
I volunteered to work with children, youth, women and refugees as well and then, I was elected to participate in civil society institutions, including Al-Hayat Center for Civil Society Development and I became a member of the Jordanian Women Network to Empower Women and thus I became active in the rights of persons with disabilities ,I went to the field of raising awareness and motivating people with disabilities to practice their lives and know what they have ,what rights and duties they have, after that I had the opportunity to participate in a play for the rights of persons with disabilities and I was the “hero” of this play, and received interaction and admiration from family, society, and people with disabilities, and because the case owner is responsible to speak about it, so then I decided to join a training project for the theater to be more possible, and I was the success story of the project, and after that, I became famous in Jordan and most of the works and projects.
I am one of the first names to be nominated and entered into the field of stories for children in gardens, culture centers, and municipal libraries.
I entered a training program at the inception of knowledge, and my program is how to deal with your body for people with disabilities, as well as to train in the puppet industry.
The topic of stories has also developed for adults, I have integrated with my narration of the stories, In all fields and places, I participated in the field of sports in playing badminton and marathon, and now I am on the Shoufah platform on YouTube.
I present the program for issues of people with disabilities, with a sign language interpreter and I dream to reach the world to be one of the speakers and inspirers in the world to change the negative look in our society’s minds and to help many people with disabilities and to remove obstacles In all its forms.
