“I look forward to be able to express myself in a way that can actually make people pay attention to what’s really important about making people with disabilities have an inclusive life and access to education. And I have a blessed life, and I have good people, inspiring people around me to help me be able to reach my full potential. So I want everyone with disabilities or not to be able to be like that. And living in a society where people make miracles and are miracles like Mr. Wonder here – he’s a wonder.”
6. SOUNDBITE (English) Stevie Wonder, United Nations Messenger of Peace:
“I’m really going to begin to push this thing of “join our world of inclusion.” And I think the more people who are doing things that make a difference, are a part of this world of inclusion. The more we get people joining it, the smaller the world gets of people who are not committed. And ultimately we will end up with everyone in the world of inclusion.”

For those living with disabilities, the meeting was a milestone on the road to the Sustainable Development Goals, the new U.N. goals post 2015 to 2030 to fight poverty, promote equality and inclusion.

For Crystal it’s a dream come true.
