The IMA Foundation is born from the need of the father of a person with down syndrome, who realizes that he could die at any time and that his son would not be left with tools or weapons to be able to leave alone in a society at a time faster, decides to undertake with this initiative.
In other way, the tourism sector is identified as a productive area in which our participants could have a better impact. After an analysis of more than 40 competencies, 3 positions aligned to the competencies of people with down syndrome are selected.
