Broad development
The specialized guidance and personalized resources at Rainbow Angels are primarily focused on playfully strengthening communication, motor skills and social-emotional development, each at his or her own level. Throughout the day there is exercise through swimming, ball games and massage. Stand-up tables and walkers are used to encourage walking and strengthen muscles.
The purpose of the group is to give the children an enjoyable time away from home. Most live in poverty-stricken conditions. Parents often have little or no knowledge, resources or support from government services. At Rainbow Angels, they are guided and taught how to best care for and encourage their children.
Take a look at Rainbow Angels
The children enjoy various activities such as swimming, dancing, doing puzzles, singing, playing games such as memory and bingo, playing outside, browsing books in the reading corner and listening to Bible stories. It is nice to see them progress, even if they are small steps.
Loving guidance
Every day the leaders are ready to lovingly and patiently stimulate the children.
Small steps
Sometimes almost nothing seems possible, yet, with many small steps, much is achievable.
Professional care
With physical therapy, speech therapy and other specialised care, most children turn out to be able to do much more than expected.
Playful learning
Each child faces different challenges, yet they all enjoy the exercises and games.
Smile!
Rainbow Angels is a colorful, cheerful environment. The rooms regularly reverberate with the children’s enthusiastic laughter.
Celebrating successes
We dwell extensively on beautiful moments. Some of the children, for example, learned to read!
