CNN Hero of the Year Jeison Aristizábal creates inclusive university for young people with disabilities
Jeison Aristizábal, the CNN Hero of the Year in 2016, has founded a university in Cali, Colombia, for young people with disabilities. The university offers a range of classes and programs, including computer programming, graphic design, culinary arts, and music. The focus is not only on education but also on preparing students for employment and empowering them to become providers for their families. Aristizábal's organization, Asodisvalle, has expanded significantly, now helping over 1,000 young people with disabilities. His goal is to change the laws in Colombia to provide more opportunities for those with disabilities.
