We’re excited that $, Argentine pesos were generated from the sale of recyclables from the Antarctic / SeaGreen program. All of the participating operators agreed to direct these funds to the Centro de Actividades Alternativas para Discapacitados (CAAD) (Alternative Activities for Disabled People). CAAD is a non-formal, permanent education program providing a place for social, cultural, and educational activities for people with disabilities. People with disabilities of all ages, no matter what pathology or disability, are encouraged to take part. Programs help students develop the skills they need to be contributing members of society, giving people with and without disabilities the opportunity to mingle and integrate.
More than students in Rio Grande and Ushuaia participate in CAAD programs. Learning is encouraged through hands-on workshops and modules. Currently, modules are oered from March to December, and include sports, swimming, sensomotive adaptive activities, physical education, self-expression through movement, dance, music, nature activities, gardening, animal care, sewing, bookbinding, pottery, cooking, carpentry and school maintenance, handicrafts, fun and educational games, oral and written expression, computing, and media. There are also modules for people with autism and generalized developmental disorder. Summer camps run in January and February. People with disabilities in the area use CAAD to access new and challenging activities they were previously unable to take part in, giving them the much-needed opportunity to integrate into society.
