Increasing cognitive functions of persons with disabilities

 Travel makes your brain store memories and experiences that increase your cultural knowledge. If you visit the Louvre Museum, you may not remember all the works of art, but you might remember a small painting created through “sfumato” called “Mona Lisa”, or perhaps an Egyptian sarcophagus covered in gold. Behind ancient treasures or a mummy lying in a glass case, there is a tourist eager to learn.

Therefore, travel also increases the cognitive functions of persons with #disabilities.

Manique Gunaratne created an opportunity to a group of persons with disabilities to celebrate a birthday at Bridge View Hotel in Batticaloa in November 2022.

 

Birthday celebration scene. A man stands behind a white table decorated with colorful balloons and streamers. He is wearing a yellow party hat and a patterned dark t-shirt, smiling towards the camera. On the table in front of him is a birthday cake with a single candle lit, as well as scattered candies and small colorful objects. In the background, there are various colorful balloons attached to the wall and garlands draped above, with round paper decorations that have “Happy Birthday” written on them. There are other people’s hands visible at the sides, suggesting friends or family are present. The room appears festive and joyful.

A man wearing a yellow party hat is feeding cake to a woman in an orange outfit while another woman in a black dress with colorful flowers stands beside them, smiling. They’re indoors by a decorated wall that has birthday banners and balloons in pink, orange, purple, yellow, blue, and green. On the white table in front of them, there’s a chocolate cake with a single green candle and colorful candies scattered around. The atmosphere looks joyful and festive.
