On Tuesday evening we enjoyed another
successful evening with the hearing impaired community Ocean Stars support. Ocean
Stars sponsors children of hearing impaired parents, and this evening acts as
one of the only outings and opportunities some of these children and their
families get to socialise and have fun. We had a fantastic display of craft activities,
balloon modelling, puzzles, card-making, bubbles, bubbles, bubbles and
different sporting activities. This was an amazing group effort between the
Calthorpe Park students and Team 2. It was really heart-warming to see these
families enjoying themselves, particularly when singing along to the hokey
cokey, the songs the CPS students sang, and finally when samba dancing!
The highlight for me of this evening, was giving
a small piece of jewellery to each individual, donated this year mainly by my
mum and Amy. I never see such grateful recipients of any gift as I do during
these moments. This makes it such a special occasion as we can see just how
much Ocean Stars input means to our sponsor children and their families.
