ASSOCIAZIONE
CASA DEL SOLE ONLUS-MANTOVA ITALIA
established 40 years
ago as a rehabilitation school for handicapped children
of all ages as well as adults.
Recent
scientific study ( 2003-2005 ) has shown that in Italy:
1 out of 500 new births carries brain paralisis
1 out of 700 is affected by the DOWN syndrome.
1 in every 500 children has hearing disturbances at
birth.
"These
persons are not in a position to call out for their
rights and cannot make their voices heard. It is exactly
for this purpose that we must remember that they have
an absolute right to save their human faculty high
to the advantage of the community as a whole.”
(Vittorina
Gementi - 1931-1989 - founded the Casa del Sole in
1966).
With this spirit in mind for 40 years at
the Casa de Sole Onlus,
we take care of the disabled persons
at various levels,
in an attempt to educate and rehabilitate
them thus giving them greater value in life based on the
principles
of “GLOBAL
PEDAGOGIC TREATMENT.”
