Dear Friends and Supporters,
Thank you so much for supporting our project Introduce 30 Blind Youth to European Values.
We are getting ready for the next International camp for the blind youth to share the rehabilitation experience. The participants will be from different countries. Our Microproject Provide Physical Rehab for 10000 Blind Youth helped us implement one step toward the successful program of the camp. We co-sponsored education for the future Blind people Pilates instructor. Our Pilates Intructor who is visually challenged successfully completed Mat 1 and Mat 2 Pilates certification program and is going to be tested out in one month. She will be able to teach Pilates exercises to the Blind youth, create audio-workout and promote healthy life
“Due to the project i took Pilates courses, during the program I learned special methods and techniques how to teach Pilates for those who are visually disabled just like me: verbal and manual cueing. In the end of the program i was able to teach a class for 45 minutes while being supervised by the Certified Balanced BODY and PMA Pilates instructors. I am now confident in myself and I am sure I will bring health and minimize risks of injuries for the Blind people, as I will teach them how to exercise, be strong and easily navigate around”, she says.
Thank you again for supporting our project and help visually disabled people get a better health and have a safe and independent lifestyle.
Please follow our projects on GlobalGiving and we will surprise you by the outcomes and great results.
Best regards,
Anastasiya Gerets
