Willemstad, Curacao (PRWEB via PR Web
Direct) December 21, 2004 -- His royal highness prince Albert of Monaco was
for 2 days at Curacao and Aruba last month. He was here for his work as a
representative of the Laureus foundation. This foundation gives support to young
people that have problems as a result of poverty, violence, drugs, war or
discrimination, and promotes sports to achieve social changes. Prince Albert, a
big sports fan and a member of the IOC, visited the Amstel Bright Race at
Curacao. This cycling event took place for the third time this year and was all
about the farewell of Olympic champion Leontien Zijlaard- van Moorsel. Prince
Albert handed the first price of the race out to winner Oscar Freire and hopes
to enthusiast the cyclists for the objectives of the Laureus
foundation.
Besides his activities for the Laureus foundation, Prince
Albert went to see a few other social projects. His visit to the Curacao Dolphin
Therapy Center (CDTC) was very interesting. Both mentally and physically
handicapped children are being helped by means of therapy with dolphins. This
specific treatment has a very positive effect on these children. The dolphin
doesn't heal itself, but the communication with the dolphin in combination with
the help of specialized trainers enthusiasts the children so much that they can
push back their bounds. A visit to a dolphin centre wouldn't be complete without
being in the water with the dolphins yourself, and therefore the prince
participated in his own Dolphin Swim. He was accompanied by the Dutch prince
Pieter- Christiaan. Albert was extremely excited about the therapy as well as
about his own swim. The picture shows the prince with dolphin trainer Aimee
Brown of Dolphin Academy.
