 Core
disabled participants of Transitions have
advanced to new levels of higher education.
Several participants are receiving university
training. Our goal is to capacitate disabled
Transitions’ participants to become pro-active
in disability issues. This means being healthy,
technologically competitive, motivated leaders
who can facilitate change.
In 2003, participants received and taught
leadership courses in areas such as: wheelchair
manufacturing, repair and seating, self-care and
disabilities issues, prosthetics/orthotics
fabrication, wheelchair basketball
Transitions is in its fourth year of operating a
small graphic arts, desktop publishing and
offset printing business. The print shop
functions both as a disabilities job-training
program and an income-generating project. Monies
accrued through printing contracts are used to
cover training costs, Transitions’ printed
material costs and to provide small salaries for the
participants who are involved. In 2002, we
received a Rotary International Foundation Grant
organized by the Rotary Clubs of Savannah,
Georgia and La Asunción, Guatemala. This
donation sponsored the acquisition of three
“Apple”G4 computers, one PC and five new
printers. In conjunction with a Nikon digital
camera, graphic design programs such as
“Freehand” and “Photoshop”, our participants
have advanced tremendously with their skills. For more information on how you can make a
