| A brief video was viewed about how a cochlearimplant works and how deaf children acquire speech using either hearing aids or the Cochlear implant. To have experienced and been part of GreaterGoodSA's Do-It Day was a wonderful experience for us all. From the initial planning to the event its self has also impacted the children of the Carel du Toit Centre. The Centre still continued to operate its normal routines which included Chrisna (Manager) disappearing for a while to fit a child with her first pair of hearing aids and share the moment with her family. After fitting Jenay came and looked at what the volunteers were doing in the garden and so was able to interact with everyone. So lovely for everyone to have had a first hand experience of seeing what a childs reactions are to being fitted with hearing aids. The children were also a part of the day and interacted with the volunteers throughout the day. At the end of a project one is inevitably asked, do you think the project was a success? I am sure that with all the wonderful volunteers, donations and enthusiasm of all concerned we can clearly declare this event to have been a wonderful success. This gift you have all made possible is greatly appreciated! Thank you also to the Pretoria Rekord for including a report in the following weeks publication and to the Eastern Monthly community Newspaper for also including a report on the sucessful DO-IT-FOR-CDTKIDS. TO GIVE A GIFT FOR HEARING - IS - TO GIVE A GIFT FOR LEARNING THANK YOU! |
