To this end, a network of workshops (on violence and drug prevention, gardening and nutrition) is being developed and run by the community with the aim of raising residents’ awareness of the need to protect and support people with disabilities.<\/p>\n The project also includes an educational and therapeutic component based around gardening. A sensory garden is being created at both schools, allowing young disabled people to stimulate their senses and gain confidence. The other aim of the school garden is to help change families’ eating habits by encouraging them to consume their own produce… and ultimately create their own garden. <\/p>\n Instituto Melhores Dias worked on this project in partnership with the Red Cross, which provided a team of professionals specialising in childhood and intellectual disability. Instituto Melhores Dias has been working with Brazil’s poorest communities since 1993.<\/p>\n [vc_separator sep_color=”accent” el_width=”10%” el_height=”5px”][vc_custom_heading]Role of the ENGIE Foundation[\/vc_custom_heading] <\/br> [\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n [vc_row unlock_row_content=”yes” row_height_percent=”0″ override_padding=”yes” h_padding=”0″ top_padding=”0″ bottom_padding=”0″ back_color=”color-wayh” overlay_alpha=”50″ equal_height=”yes” gutter_size=”0″ shift_y=”0″][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ position_vertical=”middle” gutter_size=”2″ override_padding=”yes” column_padding=”3″ style=”dark” back_color=”color-119007″ overlay_alpha=”80″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ align_medium=”align_center_tablet” medium_width=”0″ align_mobile=”align_center_mobile” mobile_width=”0″ width=”6\/12″][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=”h3″ text_size=”h3″ text_weight=”900″ text_color=”color-108997″ sub_lead=”yes” sub_reduced=”yes”]Know more[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text text_lead=”yes”]+ Childhood & youth<\/a> [vc_row unlock_row_content=”yes” row_height_percent=”50″ override_padding=”yes” h_padding=”0″ top_padding=”0″ bottom_padding=”0″ overlay_alpha=”50″ equal_height=”yes” gutter_size=”0″ shift_y=”0″][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ gutter_size=”3″ override_padding=”yes” column_padding=”4″ back_image=”84633″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":84633,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":[],"portfolio_category":[88],"yoast_head":"\n
