Soul Touch Prayer Advent Calender - Amazing Autism
During our time in Kenya we worked with a school for Autistic children called Abbey Academy. The school was set up by Tabitha, the mother of an autistic child. Tabitha, a trained social worker, saw a need for her son and many other autistic children in Kenya and did something about it! She set up the school which reaches around 30 children, around half of whom board. During our visit we were able to visit the homes of two children who were unable to attend due to insufficient school fees. Tabitha was broken hearted when some of the children that were making progress had to pull out. She now has future plans to set up a child sponsorship programme so that finances don’t affect children’s education. Tabitha also wants to buy a mini-bus for the school allowing the children to go on outings and experience active learning! Please pray for her future plans and for the financial situation that some families are facing.
