Maponya’s elected the Cerebral Palsy Association of South Africa as one of our beneficiaries. We had the opportunity to visit the home and it was not only a great team building experience but we also met the amazing people behind the scenes.
The Cerebral Palsy Association of South Africa’s primary goal is providing its clients with quality nursing care and stimulation in the form of creative occupational therapy. Aqua Hydro Therapy, Speech therapy, Physiotherapy and Stimulating visits and outings to events and places of interest. They have a year round programme of planned activities for each day based on various ‘Themes’ with active exploration being ‘key’ to the various projects. Of great significance this year has been the importance of self feeding, floor play, hand function, stimulation of fine and gross motor skills. They also introduced greater communication between their clients and schools who have played a great role in interrelations with music, storytelling, puppet shows and spiritual dance.
We took pleasure in donating over R50000 in cash.
