Often mentally disabled children have little contact with other children of their age but at this stage, because they are often ostracized due to their otherness. In terms of the kindergartens and schools are extremely important for these children. Often first friendships are created here. But for the families of the children, early intervention, nurseries and schools, from which they can draw strength, are important. They see how their children push acceptance, experience support from professionals and meet other parents with whom they can interact. When people become adults, their needs change. This is no different in people with an intellectual disability.

Many wish to have a job, to live independently, and to travel to other countries. Lebenshilfe NRW is also supported. While the degree of intellectual disability and age play no role. For every person there is the appropriate form of working and housing workshops to integration companies, as well as by the supported living up to Aussenwohngruppen. Also the Lebenshilfe helps people with intellectual disabilities planning holidays and leisure.

The under sponsorship of the Lebenshilfe NRW Alexandra Kishma16 vocational college from Hurth, took part this year with its geriatric nurse classes on integrative sports day in Cologne on Lake Fruhlinger. There a wide variety of creative and sports activities were offered for everyone and carried. The sports day was a resounding success for all organizers and participants. The information stand of the vocational colleges was clearly visible for all visitors and campaigned for the goals of the Lebenshilfe NRW. For larger fairs or events where the Lebenshilfe NRW with an information stand on the ground, she needed the flying banner. Other exhibition or information booths can across with this high attention among the visitors of the event creates be. But even outside of exhibitions and events, the flying banner is used. This is, for example, for the visitors as a Catcher in the hallway of the Lebenshilfe NRW. Since but in addition to the National Association, also the individual self-help associations use this flying banners, the NRW regional association often ordered them. So, the different life aid associations can advertise banners at their events with an own flying. The EasyShare display GmbH wishes the Lebenshilfe NRW to allow participation in our society every success in pursuing its goal, people with intellectual disabilities and their families and hope that banner to take much attention also at the upcoming events with her flying.
