Association of Parents and Friends of Children with Special Needs: 25 years and 2 Day Centers after...

A small group of parents of children with disabilities created 25 years ago an organization that only seemed to be the natural extension of their ongoing effort to stand by each other and next to their children. They were fully aware of the difficulties they would encounter due to the multiple problems of children, but 25 years after the time did justice for them.

The existence and the action, which has managed over the years to gain supporters and helpers, revolves around 4 main priorities:
- Mobilizing all parents who have children with disabilities,
- Organizing lectures,
- Cooperating with the state authorities and other associations in Cyprus and abroad,
- Operating centers specialized in providing education services and employment of children.

In 2000, the creation of the Day Centre was the first vindication of the labors, distress and worries that characterizes the members of the Association. In 2007, the Association experienced the happiness to see the operation of a second Day Centre in an effort to fill the existing needs.

The fight never stops and the achievements made so far is merely the springboard for even more. On this occasion, the Parents and Friends Association for Children with Disabilities organizes a Charity Gala Dinner on the occasion of completing 25 years since its foundation.

The dinner will be held at Saint George Hall, Friday November 11 at 8 pm. The ticket, which includes food, drink and music, is only €20 per person.

More information on the event can be found in the agenda of All About Limassol.
