This year, due to the high number of inscriptions, the colonies have been divided by ages into two groups: one with children from 7 to 12 years who have been seven days in the Albudia victory shelter;and another with teenagers from 13 to 16 who have spent ten days in the Leridano Pyrenees and who will arrive tonight to Palma.

Adiba members indicate the benefits that these educational colonies in children: "The relaxed environment, contact with nature, far from hospital and family tensions, and coexistence with other children allow the adaptation of treatment to daily activities".
