The National Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired (ANCI) in San Antonio de los Baños has 72 members. Maricel Silva Carro is the president of this organization, located at 39 Avenue, Number 7613 (Interior).
This association allows blind and visually impaired people to join social life, according to Silva Carro. The members of the ANCI have the support of the government in matters related to housing, medical services, education, the practice of physical exercises and the incorporation into work. Another factor of development in this area is the education system that enables the inclusion of children suffering from these pathologies in different teachings, as well as the continuity of their studies.
According to its president, an essential element that this organization needs is a place where headquarters can be located; a space for the blind to carry out work, cultural and sports activities. In this way, they can receive more attention and monitoring by the authorities.
