Why did you set up a national large-scale public welfare activity by taking snails for a walk?
The large-scale public welfare activity of "Walking with Snails" was initiated by China Disabled Persons' Federation and China Association of Relatives and Friends of People with Mental Retardation. The purpose is to guide children with mental retardation to visit landmark city parks, so that they can get out of the depressed life, feel the beauty of nature, let go of their mood and integrate into society in a beautiful season; * * * Call on the whole society to care for disabled children, eliminate discrimination and improve the quality and taste of urban sanitation.

After the launching ceremony, nearly 500 mentally retarded people and their relatives, accompanied by teachers and volunteers to help the disabled, participated in parent-child activities such as mini marathon, tortoise and rabbit race, rope net and so on.

Extended data:

"Walking with Snails" has been held for six times. By carrying out mini-marathon, hiking, visiting relatives and friends and other sports and fun competitions, the cultural life of the majority of grassroots mentally handicapped people and their families has been further enriched, which has driven more mentally handicapped people to go out of their homes, integrate into society, keep fit, and create a good social atmosphere of "building, enjoying and integrating".

It is reported that this activity is a national demonstration activity organized by China Sports Management Center for the Disabled and China Association of Persons with Intellectual Disabilities and Their Relatives and Friends to respond to the 29th National Day for Helping the Disabled and celebrate the 70th birthday of the motherland. In addition to Nanchang Station activities, other regions will also hold various sub-station activities one after another. It is estimated that the number of people directly involved in the activities will reach more than 5,000.

People's Network-"Walking with Snails" charity activity was launched.
