"The section on adapted sports and recreational activities, service Pedagogical Portuguese Red Cross Delegation of Braga and the Community Center Prado conducted an awareness campaign and demonstration on adapted sports (Boccia in particular). On the 14th and 15th of April, many children and young people in Prado (Prado Escola EB 23) and Braga (Goladas Pavilion) had the opportunity to learn about boccia and our warriors from Minho.

Domingos Vieira, Eunice Raimundo, Mário Peixoto and José Carlos Macedo were the hosts of this action, explaining the rules of the sport, sharing their experiences, the individual reality of their disabilities and ways in which they deal with their their daily routines and sporting activity.“


"The children and youngsters practiced the sports under the watchful eye and directions of our athletes.
In the end, there was time for questions, since the young people wanted to know more details on the personal lives of the athletes, their sport results, experiences, limitations and ways to overcome them.
                                   

"No doubt that after encountering new experiences on this day the kids developed and matured ... going home mentally richer. Congratulations to the Portuguese Red Cross, the organizers and volunteers for the initiative of the Sports Easter Holidays 2011 with Boccia in particular ."
