The work of our DCC partner with Irindiro school continues into 2018. Security fencing is being erected around the school perimeter, which will ensure that children are not able to wander off the premises.
Water butts are now in place so that a water supply is available without having to be carried to the school.
Dormitory improvements, delayed by bad weather, are now going ahead and the bunk beds and mattresses are ready to use in the improved building.
We are delighted that the charity has been able to secure funding for these improvements, but there is still much to be done:
- a new classroom to be built
- Special horseshoe seating and desks for teaching hearing-impaired students, yet to be provided
- Teaching resources needed for a wide variety of disabled children
We also look forward to sending more enthusiastic people out from the UK to volunteer for a few weeks with our DCC partners, both in the community as well as in the Athi and Irindiro special needs schools.
What could you do to help?
- Could you give your time on a volunteering trip?
- Do you have specialist therapy or disability teaching skills that you could share?
- Maybe you have access to specialist equipment, which would enable the DCC workshops to provide an improved service to support disabled children?
Or maybe you would prefer to give money to support the education and therapy for children at the special schools...
We are so delighted when we see children who had so little hope for the future being given new opportunities to develop and learn. Would you like to be a part of this success story too?
Contact us please for more information on how you could make a difference.
