Corinthians memorial welcomes visually impaired children | OneFootball

Last Wednesday (1st), Corinthians carried out another social responsibility initiative at Parque São Jorge. Through its Cultural Department, the club welcomed children assisted by Laramara – Brazilian Association for Assistance to People with Visual Impairments – for a socio-educational visit focused on the club’s history and black-and-white culture.

The activity was part of the Time do Povo project and brought together 45 participants. During the visit, the children got to know historic areas of the club through an adapted experience, with sensory and tactile stimuli, allowing contact with elements that are part of Corinthians’ history.

In a post on social media, the Cultural Department highlighted that the initiative seeks to bring the community closer to Corinthians’ memory in an accessible way, reinforcing the club’s commitment to inclusion and social responsibility initiatives.

Founded on September 7, 1991, Laramara emerged from the story of Lara, daughter of Mara and Victor Siaulys, who was diagnosed with retinopathy of prematurity. The family’s search for treatment and rehabilitation led the couple to deepen their studies on visual impairment and later create an institution specialized in assisting and including people with visual impairments.

The organization’s name is formed by combining the names Lara and Mara. Initially focused on assisting children up to seven years old, Laramara expanded its work over the years, developing programs aimed at young people and adults, with a focus on education, job market preparation, arts, culture, and autonomy.

The institution was also a pioneer in Brazil in manufacturing the Braille machine and the long cane, essential tools for the education and rehabilitation of people with visual impairments. In addition, it maintains partnerships with companies and public agencies to distribute these resources to families in different regions of the country.

The visit to Parque São Jorge was part of this inclusion work, providing the children with an accessible way to learn about Corinthians’ history.
