💗 Celebrating our fabulous Occupational Therapi

💗 Celebrating our fabulous Occupational Therapists 💗

The 27th October was “World Occupational Therapy Day”.

We at the Sabrina Love Foundation and Die Sterreweg would like to take this opportunity to thank and celebrate the amazing Occupational Therapists (OT’s): Nicole, Janet & Heidi, who work tirelessly with our children.

Occupational therapists treat injured, ill, or disabled patients through the therapeutic use of everyday activities. They help these patients develop, recover, improve, as well as maintain the skills needed for daily living and working.

As part of the service that they offer, our occupational therapists do monthly splinting clinics at Die Sterreweg for children from the community.

Splinting is a specialised modality that is used to treat a variety of conditions. The main goal of splinting children with neurological difficulties is to improve function as well as prevent deformity. Each child’s needs are unique.

💗 Welcome back to Die Sterreweg 💗

After much anticipation and a tremendous amount of preparation, Die Sterreweg Day Care Centre officially reopened our doors and welcomed our children back.

Teachers and staff have worked tirelessly to ensure that the whole center was prepped and ready to receive our enthusiastic children back again. As per protocol, the entire centre was sanitized and cleaned from top to shiney bottom.

The children have been welcomed back with open arms and have arrived with overwhelming and overflowing enthusiasm – it is a joy to have them all back! Protocols have been implemented and new daily routines to ensure that regular hand washing and sanitizing becomes par for the norm.

Individualized chair markers have been made, either a photo of the child or the name of the child on the chair depending on their level of understanding and development.

It was so special seeing the Magical Garden full of children and activity again – this garden was meant for happy, singing, children’s voices. Welcome back everyone – we really did miss you! 💗

A few months ago, we made a post & asked all of you to keep a look out for our Sabrina Love Star and send us a picture of it when you spot it! 💗✨ We received many wonderful pictures from all over, and we’d like to congratulate @samdekock for winning the competition!

We absolutely love seeing your pictures — so please conintue sending them to us or tagging us @sabrinalovefound whenever you spot our pink Sabrina Star, wherever you are 🌍💞

In line with the celebration of “International F

In line with the celebration of “International Food Day” today, we thought our timing with our theme for the last 2 weeks was perfectly spot on.

All of our children’s at home activities have been centered around food – specifically fruit and vegetables and the health benefits that this amazing food group has to offer. Children are taught about the importance of vitamins in building healthy immune systems and remaining healthy, especially now during this Covid time. Healthy foods build healthy immune systems.

Regular deliveries of highly nutritious superfoods that have been specially packaged for our families, as well as the recent garden project, which is aimed at improving food security for our parents and families.

The theme was not all work and no play and learning was encouraged by turning this into a multi sensory theme. Our young people had to smell, touch, taste recognize the colour and count the various fruit and vegetables available to them at their homes.

Various activities were carefully put together by our staff to ensure that the creative skills of our children were also put to work. The working of fine motor skills was encouraged by tearing, cutting and pasting. 💗✨

The Sabrina Love Foundation is incredibly grateful for all the wonderful years that Chad Ho has been with us as our Sabrina Love ambassador. 💗

Chad Ho has been South African professional swimmer for over 17 years and is considered one of the fastest professional open water swimmers in the world, having won the overall series title at the 2010 FINA World Cup, and he competed at the 2016 Rio Olympics!

From the age of 13, Chad has achieved the following:

💗 SA Swimmer of the Year for 4 Consecutive years
💗 7 Consecutive Times Midmar Mile Winner
💗 2 x Olympic Athlete (2008 & 2016)
💗 Bronze World Champs 2009 – 5km
💗 Gold Medalist 5km – World Champs 2015
💗 SA Team Representative for Life Saving
💗 Bronze Medalist – World Champs – Surf Swim – Life Saving
💗 Overall Winner in the 2010 World Open Water Series – 10km

With his recent announcement of retirement from professional swimming, the Sabrina Love Foundation wishes him all the best going forward with his new adventure as a swimming coach! 💗

💗 Team work makes the dream work 💗

Last week was wonderfully busy and exciting within the Sabrina Love Foundation. A fun, interesting and interactive workshop was facilitated in the much anticipated preparation of reopening Die Sterreweg Day Care Centre.

7 Sabrina Love Foundation parents and Vuyiseka Mbikawana, our cook at Die Sterreweg attended a 3 day training program presented by Mungo. Mungo has a small non profit division called “Mungo Move” which is used to upskill people in the community. Sabrina Love Foundation parents and teachers were invited to join in the “Feed your Family from your backyard” initiative where families learn about starting sustainable vegetable gardens.

Bongi Mente, Indi’s mom, has been a part of the

Bongi Mente, Indi’s mom, has been a part of the Sabrina Love family and a classroom facilitator at Die Sterreweg since 2016. 💗

Bongi: ”I am a classroom facilitator to the Rainbow Class – children that fall between the age group of 10 – 16 years. We teach them self help skills ,and do lots of lovely educational activities. I also work with the children that are in buggys*. I love to stimulate those kids it is easy for me to work with those kids.“

Indi, an only child, celebrated his 9th birthday on Wednesday and has been a student at Die Sterreweg since he was 3 years old.

Indi has cerebral palsy and has very limited ability to mobilize. He is able to roll by himself and sit for a few seconds. These are really great goals he’s achieved but unfortunately he isn’t able to crawl, get up or walk.

As children with cerebral palsy grow and develop movement becomes harder for them and Indi in particular is a very big boy and is therefore completely dependent on his mom for all his needs.

Indi is such a happy healthy boy. Bongi is a really inspiring single mom who motivates the other parents and she is such an asset to the foundation.

To make it easier for her to safely transfer him from his wheelchair to bath/bed and vice versa they would really benefit from a hoist. This will help Bongi protect her back and as Indi grows and she can continue to independently care for him without calling other to help her transfer him.

Should you wish to assist in procuring a hoist to help Bongi, please click on the link in our bio and use the reference “Bongi and Indi”.

*Buggy – Some children with cerebral palsy (CP) are transported in buggies until they master the skills of walking without the need of any assistance. Many never learn to walk and progress from a buggy to a wheelchair as a means of maximizing their independence and improving their motor and functional skills

💗 Farm animals make learning fun 💗

Heidi, our intrepid occupational therapist has been very busy ensuring that all of our children maintain their daily routines and keep up with their learning while we continue with our home based education program.

Every 2 weeks we work around a theme – this theme is encapsulated in all of their activities – these last 2 weeks our theme has been “Farm animals”! A firm favourite!

Theme booklets were designed, created and distributed to the children by our field workers. The children’s fine motor skills are exercised by having to colour, trace and create beautiful little crafts. Counting, colouring in and crafting is such a fun way to learn!

Our little ones are so proud of their creations!

When it comes to inclusive education, people speak

When it comes to inclusive education, people speak of barriers to learning – we believe that the barrier is not always the child, it is often the environment around them. It is our role to ensure that inclusion is as successful as possible.

Mivi (Mivuyo), born with arthrogryposis, a Grade 3 student at Plettenberg Bay Primary school accesses his education through a specialised computer as well as writing his work with his mouth. This can put a lot of strain on his neck and his back. To ensure a better ergonomic position for him to work from, he requires a height adjustable table so that it can be adjusted to the height of his wheelchair. The work surface can be slanted for when he is writing with his mouth and then also adjusted to be flat for when he is working on his computer.

Debbie Badenhorst, an Occupational Therapist from the Eden and Central Karoo Education District, had funding available to modify schools and make them more accessible for children. Mivi was the very proud recipient of this height adjustable table.

Thank you so much Eden and Central Karoo Education District for making Mivi’s work space more comfortable for him to work at! 💗

Theme booklets were designed, created and distributed to the children by our field workers. The children’s fine motor skills are exercised by having to colour, trace and create beautiful little crafts. Counting, colouring in and crafting is such a fun way to learn!

Our little ones are so proud of their creations!

When it comes to inclusive education, people speak

When it comes to inclusive education, people speak of barriers to learning – we believe that the barrier is not always the child, it is often the environment around them. It is our role to ensure that inclusion is as successful as possible.

Mivi (Mivuyo), born with arthrogryposis, a Grade 3 student at Plettenberg Bay Primary school accesses his education through a specialised computer as well as writing his work with his mouth. This can put a lot of strain on his neck and his back. To ensure a better ergonomic position for him to work from, he requires a height adjustable table so that it can be adjusted to the height of his wheelchair. The work surface can be slanted for when he is writing with his mouth and then also adjusted to be flat for when he is working on his computer.

Debbie Badenhorst, an Occupational Therapist from the Eden and Central Karoo Education District, had funding available to modify schools and make them more accessible for children. Mivi was the very proud recipient of this height adjustable table.

Thank you so much Eden and Central Karoo Education District for making Mivi’s work space more comfortable for him to work at! 💗
