On December, through your continuous support we delivered resource materials and educational toys for the Day Center in Kukes.
To the therapists were demonstrated all the materials and encouraged them to use it as a resource that will help children express themselves.
They really appreciated the support and considered as an added value that will help to encourage children expression, interactions and their fine motor practice.
“Covid times have been tough on most of us, especially for a child who’s living with a challenging condition, we can use some of the toy sets for imitations of daily activities, as a therapy relieve “ –said one of the therapists.
It is through your donations that we sustain our mission and make all the difference for children and youth with disabilities in Kukes, Albania
Thank you for being these children’s champions, not giving up and supporting them toward their true abilities.

On October 2020, in a warm fall day brought together children and the staff of the Day Centre in Kukes Municipality in an Art activity.
Children were demostrated the materials, and were encouraged to work independently providing for them an opportunity to express themselves and be creative.
Painting does not come so easy for children with fine motor skills or cognitive delays or any other disability. Thus, art activities provide children with special needs a valuable experience of learning and building skills.
A 7 years old boy was happy when holding independently the paint brush while painting on canvas.
In each of the painting, children expressed their interest and their world. Looking forward to Holiday season or just communicating through using mix colours - offered a glimpse of their perspective.
Engaging in art work gave children a sense of pride and you can see how you made a difference for them.

Gardening Day - Planting Smiles Growing Laugh
By Alda Kondakciu | Project leader

Earlier in March, together with children and youth with disabilities in the Day Centre in Kukes, we prepared for spring with new blooms and flowers in a Gardening Day activity.
Close to 10 children and youth altogether with their parents and the staff of the Centre got fully involved in gardening - and it was a joy for each of them while holding the watering can, filling the plants with sand and planting.
It was rewarding and boosted their self-confidence seeing their planted flower pot and writing their name on it.
One of the fathers present was impressed by how his son, I. 5 years old son, with developmental delay was able to focus his attention longer and demostrated better hand-eye coordination when filling the pot with earth. When it was the moment that the child was going to choose the flower to plant, the child was encouraged to pick - and despite non being verbal, choices were put in front of him for him to choose. The father was happy and appreciated how stimulating this activity for children and how independently they were doing each task.
Thank you for your donations which make possible for children and youth to enjoy the same opportunities and participate; create a positive impact of the centre to improve education outcomes and building skills for children and youth with disabilities and promote their inclusion in the community.
