“Exciting news! My daughter Kelly Tchangoum recently took part in a panel at the DFN Project SEARCH conference 2024 where she shared her journey through the program and the impact it’s had on her life. Since completing the program, Kelly has joined the People’s Parliament for People with Learning Disabilities, where she advocates for the rights and inclusion of individuals with learning disabilities. Her story is a powerful reminder of how supported employment can empower people to make meaningful contributions in their communities and beyond. We’re so proud to see her using her voice to inspire others!
Kelly spoke about the importance of supportive workplaces that allow individuals with disabilities the time and training needed to excel. Her journey—from a supported internship to her current role—demonstrates the power of inclusive employment.
As the panel wrapped up, Kelly shared a powerful takeaway: disability should not be a barrier to employment success. She emphasized that, with patient and supportive employers who offer training and time for adjustment, individuals with disabilities can excel in their roles. Reflecting on her journey—from a supported internship to her current role as an MP—Kelly thanked everyone for championing inclusive employment, reminding the audience that their support is essential in building opportunities for all.

Thank you to everyone who believes in creating opportunities for all.

Another opportunity to appreciate how blessed we have been. The Grace of God has been sufficient for us…

Love needs no words….

I was invited to RCCG Living Water Parish on the 8th March 2024 to testify about my life’s experiences.”

“An event that fostered inspiring inclusion.” An opportunity to share about the strength and hope received from the Lord Jesus regarding my children.

Facing difficulties as women,, we are called to “Arise like Deborah, Emerge like Hannah and Shine like Esther”

The presence of challenges does not mean that God is absent. I also share about the journey of my children and how they have been able to integrate the community.

Kelly, my daughter who was diagnosed with Autism and speech delay started talking at the age of 8. She used that opportunity to showcase how far she has come with her speech by singing one of her favourite song.

We are thanking RCCG Living water parish for inviting us.

Glory be to God
