WA Students off to Bethany Home in Malaysia

In April, 7 Senior School students from Uniting Church schools in WA will head off for Malaysia to spend time at Bethany Home, a centre for children and adults with disabilities. They will have an opportunity to share in the community life at Bethany Home including helping in classrooms alongside teachers and helping children with physio exercises in the pool. Bethany Home aims to provide a comprehensive service for people with disabilities, and to encourage and support them to live within their family and community. It aims to equip them with skills needed to become as independent as possible and contributing members of the community. The group leaders will be Rev Hollis Wilson, Head of the Faith & Values Learning Area (St Stephen's School)and Becka, a volunteer from SA in the People in Mission program who spent 12 months at Bethany Home in 2003-4.
