The
Community Program of the Rural Libraries Network serves 78 children
with 'disabilities' in different villages in the Cajamarca Region.
Our approach to Community-Based Rehabilitation focuses on the
accompaniment of children and their families, their care through
therapies, training for parents so that they can permanently continue
to apply therapies to their children and ensuring the promotion of
school inclusion.
However,
the creativity of our coordinators has no limits: they organize walks
with children, make nurseries and plant trees in communities,
organize training for teachers, fight for the installation of
Municipal Offices for Attention to People with Disabilities (OMAPED),
support in family gardens and also promote reading for children with
projected capacities.
This
last activity-reading with and for children with disabilities-has
increased a lot in recent weeks as we have an endowment of story
books from the Network. Now, all families have at home four fascicles
of stories from the collection "... and
other stories".
Seeing
parents with their books in their hands, reading to their children
who often can only listen, encourages us a lot. What new magical
worlds will be opened to the children of the Community Program!
Our
thanks to the Exchange Center of the Network.
