Service Leader

I have been in the RCCI( Rehablitation Center For The Communication Impaired) service group for two and a half years now and I can say that I have learned alot. I'm going to be honest. When I first joined the group as a 9th grade student back in 2011, I was pretty nervouse, because I had never interacted with these children with dis-abilities before. I kept wondering how I would communicate with them and how I will interact with them in the end I managed to pull through. I knew some of the basic Sinhala words ( Language spoken in Sri Lanka ) and there were two children who could speak english but on the days these two children did not come to the weekly play sessions in our school I had to communicate to the children with my basic Sinhala skills and body language. In grade 9 I was just a new comer to the service group, In grade 10 I got used to interacting with these children, Right now in grade 11 I'm the treasurer of the service group and next year I am anticipating on taking over the leadership of the whole service group. Last session instead of playing in the gym we decided to test out the artistic side of the kids as creativity of the mind is just as important as getting physical. Here are some of the impressive paintings they have done.
