Here we are with a different Geoje Rotary club visiting another facility for the differently abled. This one is ran by Buddhists. The monk in the front is the headmaster. We had tea with her after touring the building and meeting with the residents. Apparently, it is a rare occurrence to have tea with a monk. Tea with her would mark our third such communing. This is a special trip indeed.
Despite being only six years old this facility was well thought out and has many amenities including a dental office. Once a week, a dentist comes in and volunteers their time to make sure the residents here have good oral health.
Here Dottie and Duwayno mess around in the music room. An important part of both facilities is the various therapies they provide the residents. Self expression is important to the residents and it provides a means of communication and connection. We saw therapy rooms and tools for sound and touch.
Here are some of the residents preparing for an activity. This facility had about sixty people living there. The Rotarians that brought us here always bring snacks for the residents. The staff said they really appreciate what the Rotarians do for them.
My new friends and I wish you peace and love from halfway around the globe.
