The performance achieved by our Grenadiers amputated at the 15th edition of the World Cup of Amputee Mexico 2018, earned them this week upon their return to Haiti, a welcome worthy of their prowess at the Diplomatic Lounge at Toussaint Louverture International Airport, by Edwing Charles, the Minister of Youth and Sports.

Before handing a plaque of Honor and Merit to the players, Minister Charles conveyed them congratulations of President Jovenel Moïse and Prime Minister Jean Henry Céant for the competitiveness they showed in Mexico during this World Cup.

In addition, the Minister advocated a synergy of actions between his Ministry and the Secretariat of State for the Integration of Persons with Disabilities for the development of football amputated in Haiti. He is convinced that this performance will encourage more involvement of the State in particular and of society in general, in favor of the integration of people with reduced mobility.

Minister Charles extended his heartfelt congratulations to Redondo Richard, an 18-year-old Grenadier, for making Haiti's pride in Mexico by winning the top scorer of the tournament with 9 goals in 7 games https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-26034-haiti-news-zapping.html
