Overview
Mission
To provide assistance and support to both children with special needs, and their families.
What it reported doing in 2011
To provide friends and companions for children with special needs and to teach compassion and inclusion to children in a general educational environment. Teenage volunteers visit the children at home weekly. The child gains a special friend while the parents are given a much needed respite. The volunteers themselves become empowered and enriched as their own moral character grows through their service. We also have exciting programs for the children with special needs.
