Sports activities contribute more to the confidence, morale and self-image of the disabled than any other form of rehabilitation. The spirit and motivation of sport is used as a means to help guide the disabled from a state of helplessness to productive fulfilling lives. It has been proven that, in addition to promoting physical and mental rehabilitation, sports activities significantly prolong the life expectancy of the seriously disabled. Today, over 2000 kids and adults participate in more than 20 different sports activities in our Centre without discrimination of religion, race or sex. Most of the activities are done in wheelchairs to help athletes overcome their movement limitations.
As medicine continues to develop its technology, more newborns survive birth accidents and are at high risk for birth defects and various complicated needs. In 2004, over 200 children joined the Centre. The expansion of rehabilitation sports activities for children with devastating injuries is therefore one of our primary goals.
