Brazilian footballer Neymar Jr. is supporting Humanity & Inclusion's Teacher Kids campaign to draw public attention to the need to make schools accessible to children with disabilities.
The Teacher Kids initiative, part of HI's #school4all campaign, aims to show that children with disabilities have talents and abilities to share and why it’s vital to help them access school and build a future for themselves.
A digital school that’s open to all, the teacherkids.org website aims to highlight these talents. Children and their parents are asked to share a video in which the children teach others something that they know how to do.
