SdM Captain Peter Chapman recently presented his chosen charity, CRACEP – Cooperativa de Reeducação e Apoio à Criança Excepcional de Portimão, with a new computer system which they will use in their administration department allowing them to provide improved services to the whole organisation. The system cost €900 and was paid for by the SdM Members by way of their generous support to the Captain’s Charity.

This system is planned to be used in the re-education centre where mentally handicapped young adults are trained to enable them to obtain employment.
