“The Pan American and Parapan American Games are the most important sport event to be ever held in Peru,” said Lima 2019 Communications, Commercial and Marketing Manager Juan Antonio Silva, during the launch of the “Callao is Lima 2019” Campaign.
Therefore, twenty schools in Callao Region will benefit from the presence of athletes, between March 20 and July 3. These athletes will perform exhibitions of the disciplines that will be held in the region venues.
The campaign will also encourage students from Callao to be part of the Games as spectators and will help promoting sports.
The Callao regional governor Dante Mandriotti, with the phrase “Callao is sport and is ready for Lima 2019,” said that people in Callao will be the best Games host, and these activities are helping people to identify with the Games.
