Public announcement

The Association of citizens "Give us wings" begins with the organization of swimming trainings for children with mental and physical dysfunction.

The Association of citizens for persons with dysfunctions, disabilities, rare disorders and disabilities "Give us wings" starts this month with trainings for swimming and recreational swimming for children with mental and physical dysfunction.

Two professional trainers from Serbia volunteer, professors at the Faculty for Sport and Physical Education in Belgrade. They will work actively on 27th, 28th and 29th of April with both children with disabilities, and with a group of Macedonian trainers who will continue with the training.
Their aim is integration and socialization through sports and recreation, so the children with various mental and physical disabilities will have easier and faster progress, and also a step towards normal functioning.

Namely, through such training and competitions in swimming, great development in children of all categories of disabilities was noticed (cerebral palsy, amputation, hearing impaired, visually impaired - blind or with low vision, etc..), both on physical, mental and spiritual level.

The whole initiative will be led by our swimming coach Natasha Meshkovska ( a volunteer to support this project), under the patronage of the Association “Give us wings”.
