Many of the patients have become
paralysed due to their conditions, and so sports, such as
wheelchair basketball are used for rehabilitation, with the hope to
reversing some of these effects. Another girl was using the video
gaming station Wii to help with her mobility.
The Prince, who turns 30 in September,
partook in some canoeing on Lake Paranoa. This activity is also to
help rehab patients at Sarah Rede hospital. He jokingly
invited some of the journalists to join him in the canoe, saying:
“Why don’t one of you lot come with me?” The size of it meant it
was not possible.
The aim of the tour is to enhance the links between the UK and
Brazil and Chile, and will see Harry attend engagements centred
around hospitals, charities, environmental projects, and of course,
the World Cup. It seems Harry is the most well-known and popular
Royal in the countries, quite possibly the reason he embarked upon
this tour, thanks to his visit to the area during the Diamond
Jubilee in 2012.
Later, he will attend the Cameroon vs Brazil match, before another
day of engagements tomorrow, where we expect to see Harry visit the
training base of the GB Olympic teams for Rio 2016.
