In February we launched a new vocational program as part of or work on behalf of children with disabilities. The intent of this program is to help older children develop skills to improve their self sufficiency and to enable them to generate income to support themselves and their families as they grow older. The new program includes the development of skills for making items which can be sold in a retail outlet and engaging children in businesses where work skills can be developed. We launched the program on February 14 with a luncheon and fashion show during which four of the children modeled with adult volunteers in the program. The event attendees helped to furnish the new vocational facility, and the warm reception given to the models helped to boost their self confidence and social integration.
Note: As of March 16, our office is temporarily closed due to coronavirus. We are continuing to support urgent patient needs and will restart the vocational program soon as possible.
