We run in Pleven in support of children with intellectual challenges

As every year, the Pleven Friendship Marathon has a charitable cause. The eighth edition will support “Run to Pleven in support of children with intellectual challenges” initiative of the Bulgarian Association of People with Intellectual Disabilities – Pleven. The funds raised will be used for the purchase of pottery wheels, tools for shaping and cutting, brushes for decoration, paints, clay, baking oven and other necessary materials for the construction of an art therapeutic area for working with clay by children with disabilities at the Center for Social rehabilitation and integration for children with disabilities (CSRICD) – Pleven.
Art therapy for children with disabilities is an extremely useful method that gives excellent results. Working with clay, in turn, will qualitatively complement the palette of opportunities for conducting art classes in the center.
Children develop imagination, creative and aesthetic sense, fine motor skills and coordination, sensory perceptions and more. Last but not least, working with clay reduces tension, negativity, channels aggression and accumulated anxiety.
Therapeutic work with clay is a very good opportunity to develop socio-emotional and cognitive skills. It is a universal therapeutic tool for children and people with various problems.
In 2015, thanks to the second edition of the Friendship Marathon, two halls were set up and equipped in the Center for Social rehabilitation and integration for children with disabilities – Pleven. One – for motor rehabilitation, and the other for Montessori classes.
