An Inspiring Day At Marczibányi Sports Center In Budapest
- 20 Jun 2012 9:01 AM
Participants included residents of the Budapest Care Homes, athletes from the Special Olympics Hungary, the British Council and others.
Featured, too, was the „Double Fantasy” photo exhibit by eM György Soós and Wei Xiang.
Said the Seedling Trust’s co-founder and Olympic Torchbearer Andrea Snow, "For many of us it wasn’t just an intimate, wonderful day, but an occasion for us to marvel at the incredible and inspiring abilities of the Seedlings and the Special Olympics athletes.”
Said British Ambassador to Hungary Jonathan Knott, who also attended:
“I’m overjoyed to participate in an event that brings the Olympic spirit closer to people, especially if it’s also about children with disabilities. Our job is to bring the London games closer to people, and we want to do so by realizing the most environmentally-sensitive and accessible Olympic and Paralympic events yet.”
Said György Szilas, the facility’s director, "I am sure that this day was the first of a long cooperation. The needs of disabled children has always been an issue close to my heart, but after this day it became even closer. I am so glad I could participate in this event and I’m so grateful to everyone who made its success possible."
