just another update

Hello, hello. Today, due to a combination of another cold and the cold rainy weather, I decided to stay home. Which is good because I get to work on my resource portfolio for the teachers. My goal is to create a folder that includes things like: information on specific disabilities and teaching strategies that meet individual needs, an overview of teaching kids with special needs, strategies that can be used to incorporate life and occupational skills into the curriculum,  and sign language worksheets that give the basics. That's my goal, now lets see if I can meet it! Last Friday we took the kids on a field trip to a famous park in Nairobi. With a budget less than $100, the kids got to ride boats, eat lunch, have ice cream, get their faces painted, got ballon hats, and it also included transportation. DID YOU HEAR ME LESS THAN 100 DOLLARS. This was a VERY special day for them, and in the pictures below you can see it in their eyes how much it meant to them. So now I turn to you, I want more than anything to give these children what the deserve. I want to buy school supplies, soccer balls, and things that make a kid a kid. The children that are severely disabled spend most of their time in a padded chair. Thats it thats all they do is sit! I want to have the resources to stimulate their senses, and buy educational toys like puzzles and blocks for them. PLEASE help me help them. I have 34 followers if every person gave $10 thats $340, do you know how much I could buy with that?! If you can afford it and want to help please write a check to me and send it to 4256 Vicasa Drive Calabasas, CA 91302. I promise you %100 of the donation will go towards the kids.  If you would like to donate to the greater cause of Maji Mazuri which helps sustain ALL the programs please visit majimazuri.org. Thank you for the continued support, I love each and everyone one of you!

with a little piece of my heart,

Julia
