During this Monday morning and with the presence of municipal officials and provincial legislators, the reopening of the “Pucara” Municipal Equine Therapy Center took place.
Representing the mayor Francisco Azcué was the Secretary of Health Dr. Diego Sauré, accompanied by the Director of Disability and Rehabilitation, Licentiate Maximiliano Navarro Jaurena, and the center's coordinator, Laura Arrizabalaga.
The Director of Disability and Rehabilitation, Navarro Jaurena, pointed out that after significant work to get the place in condition, it was possible to restart the center, which is attended by around 50 children from our city, noting that efforts are being made to add new professionals such as a psychomotor therapist and an occupational therapist to join those in kinesiology and psychology.
Another objective is to add more shifts to be able to provide more and better care. “If we start having more children, we will have to expand the premises or work in double shifts, as has been done at PROMAR, in the afternoon,” he noted.
Finally, he thanked the 6th Tank Cavalry Regiment “Blandengues” because they collaborate with the care of the animals, for which the Municipality provides food.
DAY OF HAPPINESS
Laura Arrizabalaga, coordinator of the “Pucara” Municipal Equine Therapy Center, stated that it is a day “of great happiness. We were very anxious to start the activities because we had 50 families waiting for it. I thank everyone who helped us to be here today.”
The work was indeed significant since, due to the recent storms recorded in the city, the damage had been extensive, especially to the track where activities with the horses are carried out.
“We have many challenges ahead and we always aspire to excellence,” remarked Arrizabalaga, adding that “being able to add activities will always be welcome.”
Children from 2 and a half years old and up participate in the Municipal Equine Therapy Center, with no age limit.
The activity was attended by the Director of Citizen Participation, José Vedoya, and provincial deputies Carola Laner and Marcelo López, among others.
