Thirty-one years, 31,000 lives changed for the better.<\/p>\n<p>We gathered in this booklet images from Motivation`s programs over these 30 years, but many remained outside. Out of print, but not out of the minds of those who work at Motivation, or of the many who went through our programs. Some of the people we work for \u2013 wheelchair users \u2013 became independent living trainers, wheelchair technicians, regional team coordinators or managers at Motivation. As each of us, when they acquired their new personal independence, they also achieved the freedom to make other choices: what sport to practice, where to live, where to work, what cause to support. Some chose to stay, others left.<\/p>\n<p>Either way, we know we reached our goal \u2013 to give back freedom of movement to persons with mobility disabilities.<\/p>\n<p>The children with medium and severe disabilities we took from placement centers starting in 2003 became young adults. For us, they are `our children`. \u0218tef\u0103nu\u021b and Georgiana left our world, but we believe they had good lives with us. For the other 22 young adults, we remain a family for good and for worse.<\/p>\n<p>We all work on or behind the \u201dstage\u201d to make possible the provision of services, their funding or their administration in conditions of safety and responsibility.<br \/>We send our thanks to all those who are or used to be with Motivation along the years!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"cmsms_row_6a18597b59f317_92105731\" class=\"cmsms_row cmsms_color_scheme_default\">\n<div class=\"cmsms_row_outer_parent\">\n<div class=\"cmsms_row_outer\">\n<div class=\"cmsms_row_inner\">\n<div class=\"cmsms_row_margin\">\n<div class=\"cmsms_column one_fourth\">\n<div class=\"cmsms_text\">\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/motivation.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/cerc-2020.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-7203\" src=\"https:\/\/motivation.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/cerc-2020.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"70\" height=\"70\" \/><\/a>Motivation has 15 regional teams.
