*THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO HAS SO GENEROUSLY SUPPORTED US IN OUR 5K AT THE WEEKEND AND FOR THE GIRLS WHO RAN IT WITH US*
In October 2008, one of our team members, Sarah Eves went out to Thailand on a gap year after completing her speech and language therapy degree. Sarah worked with CCD at Rainbow House for 5 months. Since then, Sarah has talked almost incessantly (to anyone who will listen) about the love, hope, compassion, fun and enthusiasm which she experienced while at Rainbow House.
On 27th July 2012 a team of 5 of us will be going out to work in Rainbow House and the government daycare centres. We will be working with children and young adults with various disabilities including; autism, downs syndrome, cerebral palsy, hearing impairment, blindness and other learning difficulties.
We will plan, organise and carry out 'themed activity days' incorporating communication, choice-making, turn-taking skills, structured play/learning, sensory play and fun into all that we do!
If you want to know more information about CCD Thailand please check out their website www.ccdthailand.org or the website of their UK partnership organisation, 4life, 4lifethailand.org.
There will be various fundraising events happening over the next few months in both Southport and Northern Ireland so keep an eye on this page or on facebook.
Thank you so much for your support!
Love
Laura, Jenny, Kay, Sian and Sarah
