Lucknow: Despite facing multiple physical disabilities, Sarah Moin of Lucknow has achieved an impressive 95% in her ICSE Class 10 exams. Born with visual impairment and gradually losing her hearing after Class 3, Sarah's journey has been marked by determination and a thirst for knowledge.
Her parents, Julie Hamid and Moin Ahmad Idrisi, recount the challenges Sarah has overcome with divine guidance.

Her story serves as a beacon of inspiration, showcasing the transformative power of inclusive education, dedicated teachers, and technology in enabling individuals with disabilities to pursue their dreams.
