Rehablitation services for youngsters with disabilities
Our vision about disabled youngsters
Integrate them in the society instead of seperation
Members of the society
To become a part of the society you have to know each other
Then there is a foundation for recognition and respect
How?
Demonstrate society what you can, instaed of asking help for what you cannot
Job-creation, training, coaching and support
‘Job-creation’ in Healthcare
In public area
In Catering branche
Use opportunities
Don’t ask what the society can do for you
but what you can do for the society.
