Finding Her Spark: How iBoccia Awakened Muslihad’s Confidence

October 18, 2025, Written by 0 comment

For a long time, Muslihad was known at SUN-DAC for her warmth and friendly nature. She was always ready for a chat with her peers and training officers – yet, when it came to daily activities, she preferred the quiet comfort of a couch, watching others participate while she rested on the sidelines. Beneath her cheerful disposition was a woman still searching for something that truly inspired her.

That changed when iBoccia came along.

Unlike traditional boccia, SUN-DAC’s iBoccia is designed for everyone – a truly inclusive sport where teamwork, communication, and encouragement take centre stage. The format fosters connection, inviting players of all abilities to cheer, strategise, and celebrate together. For someone as naturally sociable as Muslihad, it was the perfect match.

As she began to play, something remarkable unfolded. Her laughter filled the court, her energy contagious. Despite occasional language barriers, she bonded effortlessly with her teammates and even reached out to those who didn’t speak her language. When SUN-DAC held its annual iBoccia competition, Muslihad gave it her all – and proudly emerged as the second runner-up. That moment wasn’t just a win on the scoreboard; it was a triumph of confidence, belonging, and self-belief.

The transformation was unmistakable. Once content to sit back, Muslihad now participates more actively in other programmes, sharing her enthusiasm with friends and staff alike. iBoccia didn’t just awaken her interest – it rekindled her sense of purpose and joy.

Today, her caregivers hope to see her continue exploring her passions, staying active, and growing in confidence. Through iBoccia, Muslihad has shown that inclusion and empowerment can start with something as simple as a game – and ripple outward into a life transformed.
