We are talking about the Information Technology and Robotics Center “Vibe Academy,” where children learn how to use computers, create games, and program robots from lego parts; the social integration enterprise “Floare de Cires” SRL in Razeni, Ialoveni district, specialized in catering and cooking services, where most of the employees are people with disabilities trained as waiters and kitchen assistants; and “INVALIFE” Tiraspol, a modern physical rehabilitation center that helps people to recover from injuries, surgeries, congenital neurological diseases or strokes.
