Christmas Cheer for Disabled Children

What a wonderful time we had last week; spending time interacting with and giving gifts to the children of the Sive Nathi care centre.

These children are severely mentally and physically disabled, and have very little opportunity to enjoy life in the ways we are accustomed to: walking, dressing themselves; even talking is almost impossible.

Thanks to donations, we were able to give foodstuffs to the centre, as well as a toy for each child. We brought along some bubble blowing bottles (thank you C!) and soft cuddles, balls, etc. Each child was able to get something they liked! The bubbles especially were a huge hit and the children loved watching them float around and attempting to pop them.

Also, we put up inspiring and colourful posters in each bedroom and the therapy classrooms; in order to give them some positive input.
