Teams traveled to their individual sites for the first time today. Leaving bright and early to get a start on the day traveling to 3 different sites and teams immediately began service work once they arrived.
We traveled to Missionaries of the Highway today where children and families would come for scheduled appointments to learn new ways to care for the needs of their children: such as behavioral issues or wheelchair modifications. Staff and families were very receptive to all suggestions and recommendations made by the team. Although there was a language barrier, more often than not we were able to successfully communicate the necessary instructions for good follow through. Children enjoyed the activities and play time with the team with some even expressing their emotions very vocally.
The ABI site proved to be a challenge due to lack of resources but our team is resilient and is optimistic for change to follow our visit. At Daryl’s House the team was greeted with open arms by therapists and families alike.
We hope to continue to make improvements with all the children and families are working with.
