A Special Day for Special Children.
23.08.2018
Last week our training centre in Nadarevo was visited by a group of children with special needs from the “Center for health and social services” in the town of Targovishte. We have invited them to spend time in our garden because we know of the positive impact of therapeutic horticulture on motor and psycho-emotional development.
We told the children about the little seeds from which the big plants grow. We planted onions together, which the kids watered with lots of care. We showed them the vegetables in the garden – carrots, cucumbers, beetroot, tomatoes, sweetcorn, and many others. We talked about “What grows where?” - on the tree, above the ground or underground.
Some of the children couldn’t wait to take off their shoes, touch the soft earth, and bury their feet and hands in it. Or to get themselves wet with the watering cans in the summer sunshine. This was yet another proof of how important and pleasant the contact with nature is.
We would like to thank the Manager of the center – Mrs Miglena Sotirova, Valeria Hristova (special teacher and speech therapist), Kalina Stamenova (leading social worker) and the rest of their team for providing an opportunity for this visit to turn into a wonderful experience.
