Despite speech and hearing impediments, Nadeza Rodrigues does not let the challenges of being differently-abled prevent her from enhancing her vocational skills through the Hinterland Employment and Youth Service (HEYS).
The lone differently-abled resident from the indigenous village of Karawab, a community located approximately 60 miles up the Pomeroon River, Rodrigues radiates a positive influence, making her a force to reckon with despite her inability to speak or hear.
An active participant of the HEYS programme in Region 2, the mother of one is currently working to enhance her training in the areas of garment construction and catering.
