Blue Week by Alberto Borghi The sailing initiative for young blind people in its third year. |
In previous 2007 and 2008 issues, we wrote about a sailing
initiative promoted by the Istituto Cavazza in collaboration with the
Onlus Homerus Association of Vobarno, and which aimed at encouraging
sports activities as well as providing kids living with vision loss
opportunities for socializing in uncommon surroundings. |
So the skilful sailors embarked on the adventure of managing an apartment, dividing among group members the tasks of cleaning, preparing meals, buying food, with the minimal but essential help of Mrs. Lucia Iuovone and two educators from the Istituto Cavazza. As for other events inspired by the same purpose, it was reported that the kids were strongly determined to independently organize themselves on |
the sailboat (with the supervision of
Claudio Valle) as well as in the on-land base, always ready to hoist the
sail as well as tuck in the bed-sheets, to heave the anchor as well as the
pasta. |
