Katy de los Reyes is the physician coordinator of health care at Envera's Support and Care Services. Together with her team, she watches over the health of more than 150 people in residences and day centers in Madrid and Colmenar Viejo. But in the state of national alarm in which we find ourselves, when the closure of occupational and day care centers has been decreed, her great concern are the residents who remain under the care of our organization 24 hours a day: 83 people with intellectual disabilities, including adults, elderly and major dependents.

In view of the exceptional situation we are experiencing, Envera offers our beneficiaries, workers, families, clients, collaborators and visitors all the information about the actions we are carrying out in these difficult times, where working together will once again be the key to success for all of us.

Envera is always in close coordination with the health and social policy authorities. Today, as always, people come first for Envera, and their well-being and the protection of their jobs and care are our driving mission.

The Minister of Housing and Local Administration of the Community of Madrid, David Perez, this morning received the first three students of Envera, Clara, Ximena and Alejandro, who will perform training internships in the area he directs, under the agreement signed last December between Envera and this Ministry to promote the employability of people with intellectual disabilities and knowledge of public administration, in order to compete for positions reserved through social clauses.

The former national coach Vicente del Bosque has declared that he "finds it horrifying that there are segregated federations for people with disabilities. Everyone -he added- has their own opinion and we have to respect it, but sport is sport for everyone, we are all sportsmen and women and we are all equal". Del Bosque made these statements in response to questions from reporters from Radio Terrícola, the radio station of Envera, a non-profit organization that assists more than 2,500 people with intellectual disabilities every year and trains 300 athletes. Vicente del Bosque will be the ambassador of 30 years of inclusive sport in Envera.

Envera's Sports Director, Amadeo Meler, has received this Monday a recognition for his professional dedication for three decades for the promotion of sport for people with intellectual disabilities. The award was presented by the president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso; the vice president of Madrid, Ignacio Aguado; and the president of FEMADDI, Ángel Arévalo, during the Gala Values organized by the Madrid Federation of Sports for People with Intellectual Disabilities at the headquarters of the regional government in Puerta del Sol.
