We had a short drive to our distribution site at Day Spring School in Nairobi, where children and their families were waiting.
We distributed a total of 502 bedsits today. After three distributions dodging rain,
today we were blessed with sunny weather and of course many smiling faces.
Following the distribution the school staff treated us to tea and snacks and we were entertained by children who had received bedkits.
The girls sang and the boys danced, sharing with us their talents and culture.
We then travel to a Government school for over 900 children in grades 1-8 with a specialized unit for 120 children with cerebral palsy (CP). This unit was started about four years ago. The children are transported to school by day and once there they are taught by four teachers, eleven care attendants and six physiotherapists. They are integrated with regular classes in accordance with their academic abilities. Their peers also help them with activities such as snacks. The staff here were so very positive and cheerful with all the children. This was a very emotional experience for all of us to see such physically, academically and socio-economically challenged children happy, integrated and well cared for. Here we distributed bedkits to 15 children with CP.Post your comments here:
