ANIMA is a child development intervention centre
- SHARING THE GROUNDS OF THE CHRISTIAN ACADEMY, BERGSIG
STREET, SANDBAAI, HERMANUS Anima - in Latin means " the
soul " Anima is a private remedial therapy centre
catering for children in the Overstrand Region with
developmental delay caused by brain damage, Down -,
Angelman , Autism & other Syndromes. Many children in
the local communities cannot cope within the mainstream
schooling environment, yet do not need to be
institutionalized. - These children need more
individualized, one-on-one, specialized, therapy based
schooling. - ANIMA's aims are to optimize children with
serious developmental disabilities. - Every child will
be evaluated and a personalised learning program will be
developed for each individual. - These children are to
learn life and social skills, enabling them to be self
sufficient & accepted by Society. ' - The " graduate "
children ( 18 or 19 years of age ) will remain members
of the ANIMA centre and have the possibility to join
workshops & skill development programs. - A permanent
home and accommodation centre is a future venture.
ANIMA’s facilities consists of, four classrooms, a
kitchenette, a staff cloaks & a children's bathroom. -
Play spaces, jungle gym & swimming pool. Two classrooms
are still under construction and donations will be used
to complete these & acquire more therapy & teaching
equipment.
Anima is registered as a
non-profit organization ( NPO ) & can provide a receipt
for tax deduction purposes. There are some children
who's parents cannot afford our minimal school fees and
who need your help. Any additional funds raised would
also be used to subsidize our children whose parents
cannot afford the full fee & additional costs ( swimming
classes, horse riding, educational outings etc.)
To those of you who have
helped us in the past, thank you for your continued
support.
Looking forward to your
consideration.
Kindest regards
Ronél & Andrew Greeff
