This Heritage Day, we are inspired by a truly remarkable 8-year-old boy named Joy Sagaria. Born with only one hand, Joy has turned what some might see as a challenge into a beautiful journey of courage and strength. As we celebrate the diverse cultures in our community, Joy wants to share his special message with everyone.
Joy believes that everyone, no matter how they look or what challenges they face, has the power to shine bright and make a difference. He often says, “It’s not about how many hands you have; it’s about how big your heart is!” With his warm smile and positive attitude, Joy shows us that true strength comes from within.
On Heritage Day, Joy wants to remind us all to be proud of who we are. He loves hearing stories about the different cultures in his community, and he believes that our unique backgrounds make us special. “Every person has a story,” he says. “And every story is important.”
Joy has learned to do many things with his one hand, from playing sports to creating art. He hopes that by sharing his experiences, he can encourage other kids to believe in themselves, no matter what challenges they may face. “If I can do it, you can too!” he says with enthusiasm.
As part of the Heritage Day celebrations, Joy plans to share a special story from his own heritage. He loves to tell people about his family’s traditions, like cooking his favorite dish, a tasty chicken made from an old family recipe. “Food brings us together,” he says. “And sharing our cultures makes us stronger!”
Joy’s message to everyone this Heritage Day is simple: “Be brave, be kind, and never give up! We all have something special inside us.” He encourages all his friends to celebrate their own heritage and to learn about others, because understanding different cultures helps us build friendships and a caring community.
So, as we gather to celebrate Heritage Day, let’s take Joy’s words to heart. Let’s embrace our unique stories and support one another. Together, we can create a world where everyone feels proud and accepted, just like our brave friend Joy.
Happy Heritage Day to all! Remember, strength comes in many forms, and courage is found in every heart.
Proud of you little nephew
