"Truly I tell you, what ever you did for one of the least of these my brotheren you did it to me." Matthew 25:40
We spent today at Anini, an orphanage we have visited on previous trips. We all started together at the house with the babies and the children with the most severe disabilities. Speech was thrilled to find previous trip education was carried over and they were feeding kids in an upright position and putting wedges in their beds! We were able to observe the meal time routine and assess for further need. Speech was also able to educate on some basic interaction/ language facilitation. Caroline and Kelly teamed up to provide education on infant massage and positioning for the babies. Allison, Charity and Mike assessed the children and their wheelchairs and were able to make adjustments to improve position and comfort of the children in their chairs.
A highlight of the day was when two little friends from house 6 who have been wheelchair bound, were able to walk up to each other with assistance! One of the boys kissed his hand and instead of blowing a kiss to his friend, he touched his hand to his friends mouth as a sign of true friendship!
We were so happy that we saw carryover from previous trips and the staff was very helpful and eager to learn. We will return there tomorrow to continue seeing other children we were unable to see today!
Thank you for your continued prayers!
