For some time parents of the cerebral palsy children,
during the talks about their problems, felt the need of
creating association which would support them. On march
18th during the meeting with Eva Kooyman the president
of Wandafonds foundation, who is champion of a case
integrating parents and encouraging them in fighting for
better live and future of their children, the parent
committee had become to live of the parents association.
The process of creating an organisation is sometimes
long, but in the end for many had become clear that the
more they will corporate with each other the more power
they will have. That power is needed to convince the
self-government and the government of the needs of
providing for the children with cerebal palsy: better
care, professional medical care, complex therapy,
suitable education and system in which the children with
cerebal palsy will be prepared for the life in society.
Parents understand that they can learn a lot from each
other but they need to exchange their experience.
On the April the 13th parents from three centres which
take care of children with cerebral palsy Zagórz,
Ożarowska, Children Health Centre had chosen the name
for their association which is: “Association of parents
of the children with cerebal palsy”. They have resolved
statute of the association, they had elected
authorities. The association wants to be present in the
internet. Youth from the “Ożarowska” association will
help parents to build and maintain the website. Members
of the association wants to contact, or even cooperate
with, the BOSK Association. The Wandafonds Foundation,
which sees the need of parents activeness, would surely
help them in that matter.
On June the 1st thanks to the Leo Beenhakker’s
invitation 21 disabled children from Rehabilitation
Centre “Ożarowska” and adults from Ożarowska Association
with their parents, will take part in Poland -Denmark
match at the Chorzów stadium.
In June parents wants to take their children somewhere
near Warsaw for an integrating day, during which the
children will play together, and their parents will have
a chance to know each other better.
There is a lot of work for them to achieve the goals
they planned for themselves. They need allies. They are
also counting on other parents of spastic children to
join their association.
