“Sport cancels the differences”

This morning the councilor for sport Pietro Petruzzelli spoke at the final event of the “Cortocircuito” project, created by the “Cunegonda” day center at San Paolo. During a short ceremony he awarded the eighteen users followed by the operators of the public structure of the mental health department of the ASL of Bari.

In fact, starting from May, when the yellow zone was established again, the boys followed by the operators of the structure were able to carry out various recreational and sporting activities, trying their hand at eight different disciplines: archery, skittles, football, tennis, mini golf, target shooting, basketball and darts. At the end of the weekly training sessions they then participated in the weekly competitions, wearing the uniforms offered by the “Carlo Valente” foundation.

“This morning I participated in the award ceremony of these guys who fortunately resumed playing and doing sport together after a long period of social isolation – commented Pietro Petruzzelli -. As in many other occasions of the kind, I have personally been able to see how important sport is for the psycho-physical well-being of children and how it is able to cancel differences. For this, on behalf of the administration, I thank the operators of the center, for the great work they do every day, and the Carlo Valente foundation ”.
