SOLIDARITY TICKET PROGRAM BENEFITS OVER 8 THOUSAND STUDENTS FROM LIMA
Students who benefited from this program were able to witness the greatest Para sports event in the Americas. Likewise, they will become awareness-raising agents who will promote a more inclusive society for people with impairments.
Over eight thousand people, including children and teenagers in school, have benefited from the Solidarity Ticket Program developed by the Lima 2019 Parapan American Games Organizing Committee.
In this context, the students who benefited from this program were able to attend a wide range of amazing Para sports competitions, where the most outstanding Para athletes of Peru and the Americas compete against each other to go down in history and attain glory.
Thus, a value chain is generated and its main link is the public schools that, thanks to their participation, significantly improve their respective curriculums and give more children the unforgettable opportunity to be spectators in the greatest Para sports event of the continent.
On their part, the Peruvian and foreign Para athletes received a priceless reward that will be forever imprinted in their lives: the hospitality, cheers, applause and unconditional support of students who recognized them as perfect representatives of the Paralympic values.
These passionate Para athletes became role models to thousands of children, who learned that, in life, everything can be achieved on the basis of courage and determination, the guiding principles of Paralympism.
In this sense, through this commendable initiative, the goal of Lima 2019 is for the Paralympic values of equality, inspiration, courage and determination to inspire more children in the country and make them awareness-raising agents for an inclusive society that recognizes and provides greater opportunities for people with impairments.
