Success Story: Our little “Angel”

Ange, is a beautiful 4 years old boy with Down syndrome who has received tremendous support with the SBA team thanks to a continuous donation which originated 3 years ago. Ange loves the vitamins he receives from the USA as they are in the form of a teddy bear.

We love keeping track of Ange regularly thanks to our infirmary and his mother Rosanne is often seen in our centre.

Today, Ange eats independently, we are so proud of how he is maturing and moving around. He receives a little help when walking around, however this may not be needed for long since he is making great progress.

     

You can see here in the photos Ange’s mother, Rosanne at work with the SBA Coop. She is very involved in the centre. As you can see, meal preparations are being made for all the children that benefit from her participation and Rosanne feels so proud to be involved. She is well aware of the vital role that she, and other mothers of the SBA Coop perform to cultivate the crops that are an essential contribution: nourishing the children at the centre several times a week.

  

Our dreams of self-sufficiency become more reachable. There is along way to go, but stories like that of Ange and Rosanne warm our hearts and drive us forward. Parental involvement is a fundamental ingredient to ensure the proper functioning of our centres. Especially so that children can feel the support of their parents as they focus on school work and other core activities at the centre.
