Storage Room Turned THERAPEUTIC haven for children in Sierra Leone

World's Hope's Enable the Children (ETC) is a team of local and expatriate staff who provide Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy, care, and support services to children living with disabilities, including DS, in Freetown, Sierra Leone. The staff travel all over Sierra Leone to provide in-home therapy. While this allows families the opportunity to learn at-home care and treatment for their children, the staff can't travel to see everyone weekly. This challenge was happily solved when ETC was finally given permission and access to utilize a room at a local hospital.

With help from Rock the 21, what was once a storage room, full of boxes (and junk!) has been transformed into a welcoming place for families seeking therapy for their children. The room is inviting, colorful, and equipped with therapy tools and toys! It is because of you that Rock the 21 was able to ensure the room was ready for so many children in need of services. Thank you for the way you give!
