International Day of Persons with Disabilities being observed today

Dec 03, 2013 Sports

 

 

The International Day of Persons with Disabilities is being observed today across the globe.  On behalf of the four million athletes of Special Olympics and their families, Guyanese are asked to remember the theme ‘Break barriers and open doors for an inclusive society for all’.
The Special Olympics message reads; Every day Special Olympics is breaking down barriers and opening doors through sport, health and education for children and adults with intellectual disabilities.
Special Olympics athletes show their strengths and abilities through participation in sport. Each athlete has a different story, but each story has much in common. From the athletics track to the swimming pool, from the bocce court to the tennis table, our athletes show their courage, joy, perseverance and the results of all their training and hard work every day.
At Special Olympics we believe by bringing together those with and without intellectual disabilities to compete and participate on the same playing field, divisions and barriers are broken down and prejudices and discrimination are eliminated far more quickly.  We say to live unified, we must play unified.
