A PLACE OF
POSSIBILITIES FOR SPECIAL CHILDREN
Children remain the precious gifts to families, communities
and nations. They need special care because they are young, they need
unconditional love because they are defendless, they need constant protection
because they are vulnerable and they need pure guidance and direction because
they are not independent.
These virtues are exactly what, Mephibosheth Training Centre
(MTC) at Ankamu on the Winneba – Apam highway is offering special children with
some disabilities. MTC which has a slogan “A place of Possibilities” is a Basic
School from Nursery to Junior High School (JHS) for children with silva pursy, autism
as well as physical and mental challenges.
When IGI team visited the center, these special kids
numbering sixty (60) in different classes were busily learning.The scenes
though unfamiliar to some IGI team members,were lovely, heartwarming and all
joy as their caring teachers amazingly teach them various subjects. MTC was indeed “A place of possibilities” to the IGI
team members that visited the center.
According to the director, the school employs teachers and
trains them before they (teachers) are engaged to teach in the school due to
the peculiar nature of the kids at the center. The school also has a boarding
facility in an environment that looks that sweet for kids.
IGI mission exists to
mobilize volunteers to address community issues and build on community assets. These special kids still need more care and love
from everyone living everywhere. IGI is therefore organizing a day internship programme. This visit will be a one day family day at
the center with volunteers to help the kids with their cleaning, dishing,
weeding, cooking, laundry, and other chores. The volunteers will also help the
children with their class assignments and play games with the kids and workers
at the center.
Items needed includes education materials, food, washing/bathing soup etc
This family day at MTC is dubbed “A day of care as a volunteer” and will start at 6:00am and ends at
6:00pm on Saturday 27th June
2015 for both Ghanaians and international volunteers to spend the entire
twelve (12) hours at MTC.
These special kids numbering sixty (60) could be inspired by
your visit, feel more loved by your care, feel more cared for by your smile and
feel capable by your assistance. In the end, this visit would further re-emphasize
the slogan that “MTC is indeed a place of possibilities”
