Hi, regarding affordable presents for volunteers. You could assist residents to make book-marks as instructed in the website, but do it in scraps of colourful leather. I was given one in yellow leather with a giraffe's head at the top. I love it! You could also assist them to make small containers from clay and then decorate them. Working with clay provides a wide range of experiences - creative, tactile, and pleasurable.The firing can be done with or without a kiln. Fifteen years ago when I was working for the RSL in Pinjara Hills, a sight deficient gentleman made me a small container. It is one of my prized possessions ever. I will place a photo of it for you to see soon.Cheers, Solange
Golden carers has helped improve my role as Engagement and activities practitioner, so many great ideas and activities available. This page has made my life so much easier, when I'm stuck for my own ideas i head over have a look what's new and a whole new world opens up. I have used Golden carers everyday since being in my new role, its amazing. Thank you to everyone that contributes.
