Caroline Casey was born legally blind but she lives beyond her disability—achieving all her dreams—to drive a race car, ride an elephant across India and start her own business. She is founder of social enterprise Kanchi which promotes inclusiveness by partnering businesses, governments, medias and the general public. She is also the first Irish person to become an Ashoka Fellow and Young Global Leader of The World Economic Forum in 2006.

Hear from Caroline yourself in Hong Kong this June. She will be sharing her life experiences as well as her work at the Kanchi Foundation. She will also be open to hearing new opportunities for people with disabilities in China and areas with potential for collaboration.
