This
year we will be organising more educational visits to the UK than ever before
as these have proved such a useful way of introducing new ideas, attitudes and
working practices amongst the organisations and institutions we work with in
Belarus. In January we received a visit from two of the women who will be involved
in the new Rehabilitation Centre in Gomel and the Deputy Head of Education for
the region, who is responsible for building work. He will work closely with
us on the renovation programme, so he was interested to see building practices
in Britain and also to learn more about the facilities we have for children
with disabilities. He was greatly moved by the dedication he saw amongst staff
at the Royal Schools for the Deaf in Manchester and Galia and Svieta were also
impressed by their visits to Milestone School in Gloucester, (picture) the Star
Centre in Cheltenham and Dame Hannah Rogers and Woodlands Schools in Devon.
They went back to Belarus full of ideas to incorporate into their centre. |
