From January work proceeded on the program
«Volunteer». Volunteers organized a
new-year holiday for children with the
special needs in Kommunarskoy social work agency. Six volunteers are the
students from International tourism program (Institute of Management
and Law). Volunteers showed famous fairy-tale «Three pigs», and also conducted
entertaining games and competitions. Children with gladness participated
in games, an especially stormy reaction
was caused by Father Frost and snow Maiden, which they did not want to leave
the place. Children invited fairy-tale heroes to come more frequent with new
entertainments. Director of social work agency voiced hope on continuation of
close collaboration with a center «Florence»
and with students, in particular, who showed high level of creativity and
responsibility.
The
employees of Center were engaged in methodical work. During January, 2010 the
program for volunteers was developed ( 4th year students of specialty «social
work» of Institute of management and law). Also the program of practicum was
developed for 4th year students of specialty «social pedagogies». We continue to collect
books on social work as a resource for
specialists from the community.
The
program «Kangaroo» continues to grow. Two new specialists began work in
January. At the beginning of month they passed internship under the direction
of Natalia. And from that time began independent work with children with special
needs. The number of families who would like to work with us is constantly
growing.
We plan to continue our volunteer program with adults
with special needs. Work on the program «School» started to function
again after long break because of the flu. The first trainings were conducted in
school № 40.
Similarly
after an interruption trainings we started to work at the Kamyshevakhskoy detention
centre again. |
