OAS SPONSORS COLOMBIAN ATHLETE INJURED BY ANTIPERSONNEL LANDMINE
February 24, 2004
February 24, 2004 BOGOTA, Colombia— Edgar Moreno, a Colombian athlete maimed by an antipersonnel landmine, will compete in next month’s Paralympic Games in Athens, Greece, using a bicycle and sporting gear donated by the Organization of American States (OAS).
William McDonough, coordinator of the OAS Comprehensive Mine Action Program, presented the bicycle to Moreno during a reception Monday night at the Embassy of Canada in Bogotá.
“We are very heartened to see how someone can achieve a goal through sheer determination,” McDonough said, referring to the Colombian athlete. He said the bicycle and equipment were purchased with proceeds from Christmas cards the OAS Mine Action Program sold last December.
Now 28, Moreno lost his left leg more than a decade ago in a landmine accident in Colombia, where antipersonnel landmine victims are estimated to number more than 2,500. After the accident, Moreno worked for a while as a specialist at the Comprehensive Rehabilitation Center of Colombia, but he always nurtured a passion for cycling. “This sport has been my greatest source of therapy—physical, psychological and most of all, emotional,” he explained.
A few months ago, the Colombian cyclist finished just five seconds behind the winner at a major race in Bogotá.
Under its Mine Action Program, the OAS has launched a preventive awareness and rehabilitation campaign in Colombia. The OAS has been involved in anti-landmine programs for 13 years and currently runs programs in Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Ecuador and Peru.
Edgar Moreno feels that landmine survivors “must be involved increasingly in education and public awareness programs, not only as beneficiaries but also to contribute their expertise.”
