Rey Mark from the Philippines (YES)
Meet Rey Mark, a young man from the Philippines who is passionate about helping the blind community in his home country! Rey Mark himself has low vision, but that doesn’t stop him from pursuing his artistic interests in writing poetry and practicing calligraphy. He also loves to dance! Rey Mark comes from a large family – he’s the 4th of 7 siblings – and loves spending time with them. In the future, Rey Mark hopes to become a teacher for blind students, and hopes to learn a lot during his time in the US about disability rights around the world!
