In-house course- Mombasa

Cardboard waiting for creative people
An In-house course is being run at Cerebral Palsy Foundation Centre, arranged by the Head Teacher, Mrs Shamsa Abdulrehaman. Mr Alfred Ojwang who did the CPA Assistive cardboard Equipment course in Mtwapa last year, works at the Centre and is teaching there.
The other teachers and staff will be able to help the pupils learn new skills and have fun making bowls and other craft items for sale

    1. We use flour and hot water, to make a paste like glue!! The card board is made strong by the way we build it layer by layer, and using specific techniques. It is quite amazing how it works, when you know how!!
