International Abilympic 2007
The first International Abilympics (IA) was held in Tokyo in 1981, commemorating the “International Year of Disabled Persons”, with wide support from both non-governmental and governmental organizations, helping to reshape the view of society in regard to the abilities, potentials and skills of disabled people, thus resulting in greater employment opportunities and vocational stability.
And 7th International Abilympic is going to be held from 13 to 18 in Shizuoka Pref., Japan. For more information can be obtained from the following site:
