More than 25 blind and visually-impaired children and young people Friday took part in an Easter event organized by the Chisinau Association for the Rehabilitation and Integration of Blind Children “Pro-Aris”. “They see the world as it is, even if they are not like the other children,” said the association's head Galina Potapova, quoted by Info-Prim Neo. Galina Potapova, who is also visually-impaired, said that when she was a child she needed the people's attention, but she was marginalized. “Dance classes were given at the school that I attended. I wanted to dance and to recite poems at the evenings held at school, but they did not allow me to. I want these children not to have the same feeling as I had,” she said. Ina Cernei from Glinjeni village of Falesti district is 21. She lost her sight five years ago as a result of a disease. She said she does not know if she will ever be able to achieve her goals. She likes music and wants to become a musician. “I wanted to go to a musical school. I took musical classes, but did not have much luck. The teachers do not know how to teach me. When I started to attend school, I realized I need a person who will lead me and gave up,” said Ina. Angela Caravet from Vasilcu, Soroca, has done English languages courses in Chisinau for two years and a half as she hopes to go abroad. “I want to go abroad, to my mother as the visually-impaired persons there are treated differently. Persons like me can find a job there,” she said. The Association for the Rehabilitation and Integration of Blind Children “Pro-Aris” was founded in 2006, on the initiative of a group of parents. The children who attend this center are invalids of the first and second disability degrees. Most of them come from families where one or both of the parents have visual impairments.
