LATEST NEWS FOR 2008 – Leonora Borg recently visited the home between February and March and Ed Brumby, a supporter of the Home, also paid a visit in May. We would also like to give a big thank you to Tom from London, and Sean & Danielle from Yorkshire for volunteering in the Home.
PREVIOUSLY – Hugo was one of Anita's children,
brought in as a small child with no
legs. After having prosthetic attachments, he learnt to walk. Hugo moved
out of the Home three years ago and is now making his way as an
artist.
The disabled children started school, many for the first time in March 2006. In December 2005, everyone moved to new premises, incorporating a new name: the Anita Goulden Home. It's more spacious and has a garden! In the summer of 2006, the children won competitions in football; karate; swimming and volley.
Kristina and her mother Ketty visited the Home in August. Thanks to the generous support of The Lady Eleanor Holles School, Kristina was able to purchase three wheelchairs and games for the Home. Thank you!
Our new Director: Alicia, has a lot of experience working with disabled children.
A big thank you Vera!: Vera from Australia is volunteering in the Home. She's becoming a firm friend of all the children and young people, teaching them English and playing games.
