MEPs Vigenin and Penkova supported an initiative in support of children with autism
The Delegation of the Bulgarian Socialists in the European Parliament supported the Hand in Hand sports festival, devoted to World Autism Awareness Day (2 April), to children with special educational needs and to their families.
In their address to the organisers and participants in the initiative, Tsvetelina Penkova and Kristian Vigenin stressed how important it is to support the dignity, the rights and the efforts of people with autism to take an equal part in the life of society.
„Your dedication and daily efforts remind us that change begins with people like you, who work tirelessly to provide opportunities and support for children with special needs“, Penkova said to the organisers of the festival, the sports clubs SEN, SPORT, SAMBO FOR DEVELOPMENT and BG AND SPORT FOR ALL, and the Autism, Education, Future and Opportunities association. She stressed the importance of the event as a vivid example of how working together can create a society in which every child finds significance, respect and confidence.
Institutions must work together
„Just as you are together today, so the institutions must work together on the problems of people with autism, and we guarantee that we will do what is needed for the representatives in the European Parliament, in the National Assembly and in the Sofia Municipal Council to coordinate their action in your support“, Kristian Vigenin said for his part.
The Delegation of the Bulgarian Socialists in the European Parliament will continue its efforts to draw public attention to this topic with another discussion with a charitable cause under the heading „Being different is a privilege!“, which will be held on 25 April in Sofia.
