Our team has been busy conducting interviews with youth, their parents and the caregivers at the 2 Care Day Center in Vredenburg, Western Cape in order to design a new Ndiongona Stimulation Kit for an older youth with disabilities population. The kit is being developed by an occupational therapist with input by speech therapist students from the University of Stellenbosch. It will include vocational and life skills activities and lessons.
The kit is in its final stages of development and will be ready to pilot with a group of youth in the community next month and then we'll roll it out to other communities. In addition, community agencies and groups are expressing an interest in using the kit, including an autism group in Western Cape.
We are pleased with our progress and are right on schedule! Stay tuned for when the final product is complete!
Thanks for your support!
P.S. To take this project to completion we need to raise some more funds. Could you please share this project with one friend who is interested in poverty alleviation, human rights and development in Africa? Thank you!
