Of opportunities for handicapped children:
Meet Gloria, a physical therapist at Los Pipitos handicapped children鈥檚 center that SCSRN supports annually. 聽Gloria has been a physical therapist for over 5 years and she works diligently every week to help improve the lives of the physically and mentally handicapped children that come to the center from all over the rural municipality of San Ram贸n. 
Gloria has a warm smile and often talks about what she feels is the most important benefit of Los Pipitos; creating awareness of the needs of handicapped children in an area where they are often shunned. Many families travel for up to a day to get to the center where Gloria educates them about their child鈥檚 needs and empowers parents to do some physical and cognitive therapy with their children at home since it is not realistic for most families to get to the center daily.
Gloria beams with hope when she explains how many families now attend the center, how the local public schools are integrating some of the handicapped children into the classroom. She speaks with pride about how much more aware and understanding citizens are now that Los Pipitos has grown in both staff and beneficiaries with the help of SCSRN.
