I recently started volunteering at a disabled centre once a week. The centre attracts adults with disabilities ranging from deafness, to epilepsy, to being in a wheelchair. It is a day centre and gives people the opportunity to be busy. They do bead work, sewing, gardening, etc. Being “different” in African cultural can be very challenging. People with disabilities aren’t accepted in most parts of society, sometimes even among family. Thus places like this centre are so vital. It gives people a place to belong and be part of a community.
Today I was able to bless them with an old computer that was donated to NCF. You should have seen the excitement; it was filled with so much joy, smiles, hand clapping, hugs, and one lady was even speechless.
Such a great day!
