06/01/2020
First day of activities had 67 volunteers who attended 33 bathers.
It was with great joy that the 67 volunteers, including professionals and university students, received the first 33 bathers of the 7th edition of ParaPraia, last Saturday, January 4th, at Ondina beach. Launched in the summer of 2014, the program aims to promote accessibility and assisted bathing in the sea for people with physical disabilities or mobility difficulties, having already been carried out on several beaches in Salvador and neighboring cities. This year, Para Praia will take place every Saturday at Ondina beach, in front of the Institute Bahiana of Rehabilitation (IBR), until February 15th. A final stage is planned at a beach in Camaçari, on February 29th and March 1st.
ParaPraia is an initiative of the city of Salvador, through the Municipal Secretariat for Sustainability, Innovation and Resilience (SECIS) with the support of Escola Bahiana de Medicina e Saúde Pública and sponsorship by Braskem and Salvador Shopping.
