SWOOSH0018 VISITS THE FOREST TOWN SCHOOL FOR CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS


Last month the Swoosh0018 Charity Foundation assisted the Forest Town Children's School for Special Needs. It was indeed a special experience as we were greeted with smiles from all the kids. All of them have Special Needs and it was time to offer some assistance and help this school. Some of the kids have Cerebral Palsy, are on wheel chairs and some of them cannot even walk.
You know in life sometimes its amazing when you see the fight, the will power and more often than not the Smiles.

What do these kids have that normal children possess.Yet they Smile and embrace you with all the love and heart. In sports someone once told me that if you have HEART and Belief you can go along way. And this place certainly proves that theory.

It was also great to see the effort that these teachers put in. They strive and sacrifice to make these children get an education. They strive to make these kids smile. And in this environment Smiles are the most important.

So Swoosh0018 will wait for a needs and wants list from this organisation and try to help them out as best as we can

Also the foundation contributed toward the purchase of a rare item that was needed by one of the kids. Here is a description of the item


"Its a head gear that is used as a keyboard aid, pencil holder for turning pages or drawing. Its an essential aid for people with limited hand use, for activities including turning pages, drawing or painting. It helps people with limited verbal communication skills to use communication boards and to point. It is also excellent for pushing in Switches. It consists of lightweight plastic bands secured by metal hardware and topped by a 19 inch long aluminium rod. Padding at the forehead is comfortable and cool"
