The Cabildo of La Gomera and the Vallehermoso City Council have coordinated with social groups on the island to organize an event focused on participation and inclusion for the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, which will take place on December 3rd in Vallehermoso.

During the meeting, the island's Social Services counselor, Rosa Elena García, outlined the main aspects of the planned program for this day, which will feature close collaboration with the Vallehermoso City Council and the participation of various entities and associations linked to the social sector.
The meeting also served to gather proposals and contributions from the attending groups, who expressed their willingness to collaborate in developing the activities, highlighting the importance of joint work between public administrations and La Gomera's associative fabric.
The choice of Vallehermoso as the venue for this celebration is particularly relevant due to the presence of the Insular Center for Functional Diversity in the municipality, an infrastructure dependent on the Cabildo of La Gomera with adapted facilities to meet the specific needs of its users.
This resource is a benchmark for the care of people with disabilities on the island and reinforces the importance of continuing to promote initiatives that favor their active participation in social and community life.
The mayor of Vallehermoso, Emiliano Coello, emphasized the importance of institutional collaboration and the involvement of social groups in preparing a day that will raise visibility for people with disabilities and continue advancing towards a more inclusive society.
The City Council values the disposition of the participating entities, whose contributions will enrich the program and allow for a celebration open to participation and encounter.
The event on December 3rd is thus envisioned as an opportunity to reinforce social awareness, foster coexistence, and recognize the importance of continuing to work in a coordinated manner to guarantee equal opportunities and the full participation of people with disabilities.
