Six children and four caregivers had the opportunity to attend World Hope International’s Enable the Children annual beach outing this past weekend. World Hope International’s Enable the Children Project is serving families with disabilities in Sierra Leone. This event invites families and children living with disabilities across Sierra Leone to help strengthen the community, empower families, and reduce the stigma. Approximately two thousand people attend the event each year. This year, the event was held at Lumley Beach in Freetown. During their time there, our children and staff enjoyed eating, dancing, and games. While the children enjoy this outing, it is also uplifting for our staff to meet other caregivers and hear testimonies and encouraging speeches from donors and government officials.
Enable the Children has worked with The Raining Season’s Hope Apartment for many years to support children we care for with special needs. Their staff visits The Covering, teaching our caregivers how to help the children using play, developmental positioning, and feeding support. This allows our staff to continue supporting the children in a practical way that increases the children’s quality of life. The physio team does physical therapy with some of the children and has also provided equipment and devices to help the children. Their expertise and assistance are greatly appreciated as they provide these essential services.
A big thank you to World Hope International for inviting The Raining Season to your event. Thank you for your time and effort in planning this event for so many children and families in Sierra Leone. Our children and staff enjoyed the outing and the opportunity to connect with others.
Many blessings,
The Raining Season
