Ministry of Labor and Social Protection implements project for children
Baku, September 21 (AZERTAC). Last week, a Play Day event was held at Absheron district, Saray boarding school # 7 within a framework of “Sport for Development and Inclusion” Project between Saray boarding school and Lachin Chiragli village school with the support of Ministry of Labor and Social Protection with the participation of representatives from Ministry of Labor and Social Protection, “Social Services Initiative” Public Union and Ms. Cindy Gordon from Evergreen Rotary Club.
The project aims at fostering the physical & cognitive development of children with disabilities as well as their social skills through the use of TOPs methodology.

This methodology was successfully piloted in the last 4 years. “International Inspiration” Program was carried out within Memorandum of Understanding between Governments of Azerbaijan and United Kingdom that was approved Presidential Decree No.2717 dated on March 10, 2008.
Representative of Evergreen Rotary Club, Ms. Cindy Gordon highly appreciated the event and noted that these physical activities and games influence a positive impact on psycho-emotional and development of children, and expressed her satisfaction on implementation of the project. At the end of the event, a group photo was taken and Ms. Cindy Gordon awarded the children with the football balls she brought from USA.
