Bosnian six-year-old disabled boy Ismail Zulfic, swims during a training session on November 22, 2016, at Sarajevo's Olympic Swimming Pool facility. Born without arms, Ismail Zulfic happily paddles across an Olympic-sized pool in Sarajevo: the six-year-old learned to swim thanks to a coach who fights public inaction over Bosnia's disabled. December 3, 2016 marks the UN's International Day of People with Disabilities, which aims to break down barriers and raise awareness. In Bosnia, where nearly 10 percent of the population is disabled, the road ahead is long. / AFP / ELVIS BARUKCIC (Photo credit should read ELVIS BARUKCIC/AFP/Getty Images)
