GlobalGiving report July 2023
As always, we at E.A.S.E. Foundation are appreciative of the support we have received for many years from GlobalGiving. Your support helped us get through the pandemic years.
In addition to our usual work with students with disabilities and their families we have been asked to help train pre-school teachers who are working in inclusive schools. Cargills, one of Sri Lanka’s oldest corporates has established inclusive preschools in many areas around the island. We were happy to be asked to help train their teachers in how to recognize children with disabilities as well as how to work with them in a positive way. Our foundation principals of “presuming competence” and encouraging communication as well as alternative and augmentative communication to those children who may need non-standard communication strategies were well received. Plans were made to continue these training seminars.
Our student Oshi has developed a self-employment project, selling potted succulents and cacti. He was given the chance to do a pop-up stall at a newly opened Cargills location too.
Several new students have joined our classes and are progressing well.
Thanks again to GlobalGiving our much valued partner in bringing needed services to a marginalized community.
