These alliances achieved very positive results that exceeded expectations.
Among them, the incorporation of a member of the Cardenales Club as an employee of Rolcar SA, an official dealer of Mercedes-Benz Trucks and Buses located in Tucumán. Also, training in sign language for all the staff of the “Escuela Chapuzón”; and the inclusive building modification in a concessionaire in Entre Ríos.
What are the different MovilizAR projects about?
Together with Automotores Haedo and Fundación EPI, soccer activities were offered at the Club Porteño as a complement to an articulated work with various therapies planned and designed so that the beneficiaries could take advantage of them on days and times that are convenient for families. In addition, from EPI, they accompanied the process to obtain the Single Certificate of Disability (CUD).
An inclusive rugby space was developed in Tucumán, at the Cardenales Rugby Club. It was a valuable proposal that aimed to create a space for support, entertainment and physical development for people with functional diversity, without age or gender limits. In addition, for those participants who could not access the payment of the social fee, they received scholarships from the institution.
The “Escuela Chapuzón” was created in Paraná-Entre Ríos, being the only school that offered swimming in an adapted way, and where they worked with all disabilities, with an interdisciplinary team of teachers, kinesiologists and therapeutic companions.
“From the company we have offered all our support to accompany young people and children in their inclusion in sports, giving importance to their values. It was a commitment for all of us who are part of it and we are proud to have helped those who need it the most”, comments Josefina Furlong, Head of Press, CSR and Public Relations at Mercedes-Benz Trucks and Buses. And she adds “as a multinational company we work to promote respect for diversity and inclusion in all locations where we do business.”
