"You could have heard a pin drop the pupils were so captivated."
“Abdi was absolutely fantastic. Abdi tailored his speech to fit the remit that I gave him given the nature of the pupils and the ethos we are promoting, which was great. He also involved the audience ‘live’ and held a brief Q & A at the end. He also followed up with sending us a transcript of his speech and an offer of holding smaller motivational/self esteem seminars. I will definitely be booking him again.”

"Several of the children were very emotionally affected by Abdi’s visit, in a positive way"
"Abdi Omar came to speak at our special needs primary school in January. He spoke to a group of children with varying needs – Cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, Rett syndrome, autism – about living with a disability and what it means to him. Abdi is a very inspirational speaker, and the children are still talking about him now 2 months lates. We hope to invite Abdi back to work with them again in the future."
