Pillar: Handicap

Who?

Integration of persons with a handicap, or more precisely persons with a limitation. This can be a physical limitation, but also a social or an emotional one.

For us, integration means that people with a limitation may take part in social life, in society.

How?

Aliento del Viento integrates persons with a limitation in the management of the association.

Aliento del Viento organises activities which are accessible for people with a physical limitation, so that people "with" and "without" limitation may meet.

Aliento collaborates with or supports associations which are committed to the integration of the handicapped, such as:

downsyndrome's day at Siracusa

KVG vzw

Aliento del Viento wishes to raise awareness both in people "with" and "without" limitation in information evenings and via the internet.

What's the Enhler-Danlos syndrome?

It is a genetic disease, an abnormality of the connective tissu (the cement of the skin) which affects all organs, but also muscles, bones, joints and unfortunately the list is still very long. This results in dislocations and subluxations, great tiredness, tachycardia and above all in great pain. Some affected people are wheelchair bound, others must wear orthotics. It is still considered a rare disease today.
