More Information About this Project

Project Needs and Beneficiaries

We create recreational activities that generate awareness & eliminate society's fear of people with disabilities. It is a logistic challenge to coordinate all of the voluntaries, the people with disabilities, & the staff. It is vital for our management & security to have the proper equipment & communication devices. We need equipment, such as: radio transmitters, megaphones, handy billboards & stands. If we can have this, everybody in Unidos will benefit, because we'll be safe & well organized.

Activities

In Unidos, we make the dream of integration a reality, facing the society and making a statement “We are here, we are not weird”, we are part of the society and we have the same right as every body else to have fun in every place we can imagine.
