This campaign aims to raise an adapted van with 9 seats, which allows us to continue working with children and young people by raising awareness and informing them, in order to achieve a more just and inclusive society.

For years, the APD - District Delegation of Braga has been promoting and working with people with disabilities, always with the aim of supporting their insertion in society, especially through its wheelchair basketball team. This activity has allowed many to integrate or reintegrate into the labor market, into society, as well as improve physical and psychological well-being, among others. This sport has conquered the hearts of the people we work with and has boosted the integration of each player at various levels, with the team currently having players competing at national and international level (athletes of the National Wheelchair Basketball Team). This sport brought about clear and unavoidably positive changes in the life of each player, but there was also a constant concern that went beyond the sporting aspect, the clear need to bring this modality to the attention of the youngest and allied to this objective, to carry out awareness actions with the children of today, the men and women of tomorrow. The APD thus wanted to take to all corners of the country, to hundreds of schools and thousands of children, the banners of inclusion, resilience, the desire to do more, proving that people with disabilities do not have to live on the margins of society. . There is no lack of will to continue our biggest project, the means are lacking, namely the lack of a van adapted to the needs and times in which we live. Help us show young people that disability is not the end of anything, help us shape the society of the future, break down the barriers of exclusion, for us and for everyone! That in the future we will be able to promote a society of equal rights and opportunities.

The time has come to ask for help, our van is more than 20 years old, although we keep it controlled by inspections and maintenance, regular and extensive use does not allow us to safely maintain the frequency of use because in the same way as our associates need support to get around, our project also needs new “wheels”. It is with pride that we share and we are aware that it has led us to meet thousands of young people, but it is underlining the weight of the mission it has carried for years, so it is essential to acquire a new van, adapted to the needs of people with disabilities and goals we set ourselves.

We want to maintain this action, which starts with a positive and direct practice with and with young people, but which applies to life and this campaign will allow the reach of this support for the van.

About the author

The Braga District Delegation of the Portuguese Association of the Disabled is a non-governmental organization (NGO), non-profit, based in Braga since April 1982 and has about 1300 members. Its objective is to protect human rights and, in particular, the rights of people with disabilities, chronic/degenerative diseases, family members and/or legal representatives, and we are committed to the inclusion of both our associates in society and society at large. reality of people with disabilities.

The delegation notes that in the district of Braga there are many young people and adults who are victims of road accidents, work accidents or neurological and muscular diseases, of a degenerative nature or others that affect mobility and that, especially in the adaptation phase to the new conditions .

The practice of adapted sport enriches society, offers people the opportunity to meet, express and perform, to acquire skills for social interaction and promotes physical and psychological health. It promotes participation, inclusion, social responsibility and contributes to community development.

It is intended to acquire an adapted van, with comfort and safety for the transport of practitioners of sports, in decent conditions. In this way, we will be breaking the isolation of young adults with physical disabilities, fighting social exclusion, encouraging autonomy and independence, promoting the recognition of participation in adapted sport as a contribution to society and to the preservation of health, to promote healthy lifestyles, in order to improve physical and psychological condition and to develop personal and social skills aiming at cultural integration and the promotion of equal opportunities.

However, our biggest project is “Atreve-te”, where we took the team and the wheelchairs to schools and through raising awareness in them, we invited children to experience and get closer to this reality that is physical disability, through of this expression and interaction with our athletes, who quickly become their idols.

This is the way, by showing today's young people that with an inclusive thinking no one needs to be left out, we are creating a better tomorrow, for us and for everyone! In this way, we wish to promote a society of equal rights and opportunities, as stated in the convention drawn up by people with disabilities and their families "Nothing about us, without us".
