Programa, Guainía 20

Abstract

The program features an interview with Tomás Acosta, a blind guitar teacher who specializes in spiritual songs. During the conversation, he shares his experiences living in the municipality of Inírida and how he has used music to bring children closer to God, instilling values of faith and hope. He also discusses his visual impairment and the challenges he has faced, emphasizing the importance of resilience and personal growth. The program also covers Down syndrome, explaining its causes and characteristics. This genetic condition occurs due to the presence of an extra copy of chromosome 21, which affects physical and intellectual development. Despite the challenges, many individuals with Down syndrome lead fulfilling lives with the support of their families, inclusive education, and early stimulation. The discussion highlights the importance of inclusion and respect for diversity, promoting a more equitable and understanding society.
