\"\"<\/a>We organized all together an event for mothers of disabled children. It was held in a picturesque place that it was about to open for customers – cafe BUSZ. We were first in that new place.<\/p>\n

We were around 10 volunteers and our goal was to interact with children while their mothers had cosmetic treatments.<\/p>\n

I was satisfied with taking part in such activities cause my experience in working with disabled children is small. I think the work with vulnerable people requires attention, empathy, inner energy but I was doubting whether I could have such features.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I started to observe how another volunteer Zeynep was communicating with one guy, using gestures. Later I had found  – it was a Makaton. I asked Zeynep to teach me simple signs and repeated after her. So I had learnt main gestures from Zeynep and used them with Maciek, a sunny boy around 10 years old.<\/p>\n

We were playing quite long trying to knock down pins. How much fun we had!<\/p>\n

During the whole day, I didn’t have any doubts or fears of playing with children. I know that actions are repetetive and very simple but your trophy is smiles on their faces.<\/p>\n

Due to this little but decent experience I can say that I don’t have any fears or prejudice about people with special needs.<\/p>\n

I’m totally sure that they are more than we know about them. They can teach us patience, tolerance and love.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
