This proposal seeks to achieve full participation, without restrictions, to renew self-confidence, increase motivation, reduce anxiety and improve the quality of life of people with physical disabilities.
In the month of May, the Adapted Sports and Older Adults Program team participated in a training by Professor Jorge Giorgi, in the town of Naschel, to train on the correct development of sports practice, being able to carry it out in different institutions.
Until now, the city of La Punta and Naschel have been working, adding Villa Mercedes to this proposal.
