Deaf BMX Athlete & Wild Plants Expert Builds School in Uganda & Changes a Nation

Ceilidh O'Sullivan was born and raised on the Eastern Coast of
Australia in a little town known for its delicious ginger beer
and all inclusive schools for the disabled. Ceilidh was born
profoundly deaf and with the help of her mother, she learned to
speak well. At a young age she became obsessed with "Bush Tucker"
which is a reference to edible wild foods in Australia. To this
day she can go out into the bush or on the beach and gather food
to create delicious meals.


Ceilidh placed second in the country and wanted to continue her
path competitive BMX biking but instead made the hard decision to
undergo surgery and receive a cochlear implant which helped her
ear sounds for the first time such as leaves under her feet.


Ceilidh is into eco construction and sustainability as a result
of her countless trips to Uganda where she built a school for
deaf children and had a part in changing that country's attitude
regarding the abilities of deaf children.
