“It’s amazing how every negative impact and obstacle I faced in my life gives me a reason to push my limits in order to achieve my desired goals,” she says. Motivated by her late mother’s quote, ‘If you can dream it, you can live it” you are your only competition,’ she says she is determined to make a difference in life.
She started a project called ‘Advocacy for Orphans’, which aims to help those who have lost their parents to reach their full potential. As an orphan herself, Uiras knows the heartache and struggles of having to cope without the support of her parents. She wishes to see orphans grow by motivating and inspiring them as well as being able to fund their studies or monetarily contribute to their dreams.
