SFS has initiated a structured volunteer programme to assist parents of special needs children.
People who are willing to give their time are given preliminary training and are assigned a family which they visit regularly on a mutually convenient schedule.
The programme is evaluated periodically using feedback from the parents of the child. Milestones are assessed and continuous adjustments made to suit the needs of the child.
Let us remember that for the special needs family, every event and every step out of the house requires careful contingency planning and often restricts mobility for the rest of the family. These small inputs and help from our volunteers provide that little bit of freedom whilst maintaining a professional standard of input towards the betterment of the child.
In fact, three of our young members - Reshma and Ruchi and Lachmi have been coordinating the Volunteers Programme with enthusiasm and are doing a great job !
Those interested to help out may please get in touch with Safia at 050-6526484
You may be wondering why we have that famous watercolour on our site ....Cezanne's painting is an apt reminder to us that no mountain is difficult to climb, and no difficulty is unsurpassable if we have the will to overcome .... |
