HOW CAN YOU HELP CHRISTIAN OUTREACH TO THE HANDICAPPED?
Your view about life will not be the same when you interact with people who are intellectually challenged. We often take for granted our simple ability of moving around, engaging in conversation, doing simple chores every day. Apparently moving around, converse with other people and doing simple chores are not that simple for people with intellectual disability. Due to their intellectual limitations, their world seems to be isolated and you can change that situation by befriending them. Your presence will bring cheers for our beneficiaries and their caregivers.
WHAT YOU CAN DO?
- Befriend them
- Assist their staff in caring for them during their activities at our centres
- Engage their clients with simple games, art and craft, music or drama performance
- Bringing them out or engage them with table task activities such as origami or puzzle
