Their objective, is to give an opportunity to Mentally Challenged children to improve their abilities, make them 'self reliant', provide basic education, socialization, awareness and above all give them recognition and some dignity.
This group are trying to ensure that these children have supporters and friends to represent their rights.
But How can we help?
With Miss Ellen we came up with some good ideas - toys and clothes (in good condition), learning resources, lunch boxes, water bottles, kiswahilli books, picture books.
coloured pens
crayons
marker pens
plain paper
exercise books
colouring books
simple puzzles
footballs
netballs
sports and games clothes
cleaning equipment - soap, toilet paper, gloves, brooms, mops, small & big dustbins.
We talked about making collection boxes around the school and we can work on that next week. Is there anything you can bring from home that might help. If there is, post in the comments section below to let us know. If we are going to be asking others to donate it would be good for us to model what that looks like.
