[NewsWhore]

Families with special needs children in Salcedo have received a donation of 12 dairy cows. The cows will be kept at the Diversity Care Center in the Hermanas Mirabal province. Environment Minister and former senator for the province, Jaime David Fernandez Mirabal, who is also an advisor to the center, was present. The program has the support of the Ministry of Education and is implemented by the provincial technical office. It seeks to involve the families of children with special needs in productive activities. Rosa de los Santos de Garcia, president of the Union Santa Rosa, is also one of the supporters of the initiative. As reported in El Caribe, Elena Gonzalez, president of the center, said that the initiative gives these children the prospect of earning a living and helps them become productive. "Families and institutions have the duty to include these children and transform society so that it is capable of accepting deficiencies, to understand that there are many different ways of being and that we all have the same rights," she stated during the ceremony. Manuel Acosta, father of one of the children who will take part in the program, praised the actions.
