Havana Removes Architectural
Barriers
The architectural barriers for
differently abled people have
been eliminated in Havana´s 19
municipalities, as a
contribution to social
integration of those people and
uplifting their self-esteem.
Osvaldo Hidalgo Dominguez,
president of the Cuban
Association of Physical and
Motor Disabled People (ACLIFIM)
in that territory, told AIN that
those people are more useful now
and fewer dependants on the
rest.
He said conditions have been
created to allow access of those
people to health, education,
commercial, food, cultural, and
recreational centers.
He asserted that the ACLIFIM in
Havana counts on more than 700
members, who are more related
each time to work, education,
and other activities, as proven
by the second national position
obtained in table tennis and
awards in cultural events.
He added that the organization
won the status of Meritorious
entity for the second time,
while San Jose de Las Lajas,
Alquizar, Mariel, and Quivican
municipalities are considered
outstanding for their results.
