The Workshops
Skills Development
Workshop 1: Special Group
These are for the lower functioning residents where there are various stimulation activities ranging from from arts and crafts to sports.
Workshop 2
A series of activities which consists of arts & crafts, a fully functioning kitchen and the vegetable garden.
A main source of sustainability for this workshop is contract work such as folding of medical gloves and bandages, preparing party packs and folding of letters for envelopes.
Workshop 2: Garden
There are some residents who find it difficult to sit at the workshop tables and they prefer to work outdoors. Our vegetable garden caters for this need. Wherever possible the produce is used by the Village in the kitchens.
We have a group of chickens in the garden, led by Jesus the Rooster!
