Para athlete poster boy Hussain Ibrahim Al Rashid is training from the confines of his home in A’ali to stay strong in preparations for the 2021 Asian Youth Para Games that will be hosted in Bahrain.
The 12-year-old Saudi-Bahraini, who was born without limbs, has captivated hundreds of thousands of people on Instagram with his inspiring video posted by the Ministry of Youth and Sports Affairs about his endeavours.
