photos - paralympics - part 1

The Digicel sponsored soccer team is posing in front of the Paralympique sign. Kenson is the third guy from the right. One of his arms is deformed. He lives in Cite Soleil. It was good to see him participating in the paralympic games. He scored a goal in overtime penalty kicks.

Here the athletes are heading towards the opening ceremonies.

The organizers invited me to join them. I was proud of those who participated. These athletes are all very determined people who don't let their handicaps stop them from participating in Haitian society.

This handicapped lady waited patiently on her knees for the opening ceremonies to begin.

Different types of handicaps were represented at these games.
