Chairs

So many children with cerebral palsy spend large amounts of the day on their backs
- a chair for sitting gives the opportunity to see around
Finding good positions for eating can be difficult, particularly for the older children

Everyone is happy to see Mbaraka being able to eat more easily - thanks to the new chair

Tiwi times


Everyone clapping Alan, Margaret's husband
Margaret told everyone that Alan had been tearing the tough brown paper to speed us all up in the work - despite the fact that he has Multiple Sclerosis and has lost the proper use of one hand
Margaret showing how to use brown paper for a smooth strong finish
Everyone getting busy with putting on the final layers

Some of the Tiwi Disabled People's Group cooked - the photo shows mandazi being prepared delicious when fried

Some parts of the road were very bumpy - Libby was splattered with paste one day
- hence the apron
