Preparations and Play

Today was scheduled for rest and relaxation -the calm before the storm!!!
Students spent the morning in consultation with Sue and Taz preparing for the 12 clients that they will be seeing regularly throughout the next week. Will be seeing two returning clients from last year's program and at least 10 new clients including a 12 year old girl who continues to have an open palatal cleft (due for repair in 8 weeks)!

Afternoon saw students join the main group for an afternoon of fun with the children from the Shantytowns. You will notice from the shantytown photos the lack of horizontal play surfaces and greenery so this afternoon's program is an opportunity for these kids to experience parks and playgrounds with the Solidarity in Action participants. With 40 participants and 60 kids, I'm sure they will be a tired bunch on return!
