Being Together

Lakeside Park - May 2, 2012

The Rotary Club of FishTail put together a special day  for families with children with Developmental Challenges and adults with spinal cord injuries to interact with our special guests and our Trip Team members. This is the 2nd year we sponsored the event and it has made a big difference in the life of these families.

For a day they are out of their routine, they can sit back and have their children play with other differently-abled children and adults. We had soccer and basket balls, we played catch and musical games. We had dancing and singing ( of course) and then boxed lunch brought into the park!

To top it all, everybody went on 9 boats  and spent the hour floating around Lake Fewa. Thanks to Larry and Eric who helped all the guests into and out of the boats! Truly great Rotarians !

The mood was cheerful and despite their stories, the support they get from the Rotary project, CBRS (Community Based Rehabilitation Service) training and education is provided for adults to be able to ear a living.

SGCP - hope for families with Cerebral Palsy

The condition of Cerebral Palsy affects the control of muscles due to the lack of oxygen to certain areas of the brain in utero, during childbirth or  between the age of 0 - 5 due to high fever or another condition. SGCP helps in establishing awareness and the quick mitigation to address the condition and start therapy and education to help the children reach their full potential.

Dr Lekha, a Rotarian, has been a great adviser on this subject and has been our contact to this center. Donna Eggan put up this puppet project to interact with the children. A matching grant has also provided 100 customized chairs for  children and adults with CP because their posture is of utmost importance Here are a few photos from that trip.
