Discover Honduras – Arbeit mit Menschen mit Behinderungen: Olimpiadas Especiales Honduras (OEH)
Olimpiadas Especiales Honduras (OEH) belongs to the international network of Special Olympics International. OEH is a non-profit organization founded in 1995 dedicated to providing sports training and athletic competition throughout the year in a variety of sports of Olympic style, to children, youth and adults that have an intellectual and/or physical disability such as Down Syndrome, autism and cerebral palsy. The main aims of OEH are to improve the quality of life of people with disabilities, and that people with disabilities have the opportunity to be useful and productive citizens who are accepted and respected. OEH has had important participation in international games, winning more than 500 awards in all the competitions since its creation. Enthusiasm, the willingness to surpass oneself and the constant training have made it possible that the Honduran athletes stand out nationally and internationally, which, although obtaining a medal or rosette is not OEH’s main objective, gives joy to the athletes and makes them want to exert themselves even more (www.olimpiadasespecialeshn.org).
