Welcome to Princess HIBM!

Welcome to Princess HIBM!

Finally I have built up the courage and taken the time to launch a blog. In this forum I will share stories of my world travels, past and present, and insights into my experiences living with a disability.

For those of you who don't know me yet, my name is Cara Elizabeth Yar Khan. I was born in Hyderabad, India in 1976 to an Indian father and English mother. We moved to Canada in 1978 but now our family, including my beloved brother and darling step-mum, call Shanghai, China home. 

From a very young age I knew exactly what I wanted to do when I grew up.  Each day I give thanks for my career and the job I love. Today I live in Port-au-Prince, Haiti where I work with UNICEF, the United Nations Children's Fund, as the Private Sector Resource Mobilization Specialist.  

Thanks for reading my blog. If anything I hope you can share a little bit of my adventures and see that with a strong heart and clear mind we can do anything we are truly passionate about!  

Cara

 PS. June 2016 the blog changed to my full maiden name: Cara Elizabeth Yar Khan

    What a fantastic idea! Although I have personally enjoyed reading your journey all these years, I have no doubt others will too. xo

    I just watched the video of you "On the job in UNICEF Haiti". What a beautiful woman and a beautiful soul you are! I hope that the new report on children with disabilities will bring attention to your work and to the needs of these children around the world. I teach children with severe and multiple disabilities in Minnesota, U.S. and was a Peace Corps volunteer in Morocco for three years. It has been my greatest hope to someday be able to help the parents of these children there learn how to help their child communicate and keep their bodies moving to avoid contractures, bedsores and other health problems. God bless you in your work!
