The National Special Education Centre for Physically Handicapped Children in Islamabad has begun a two-week long summer camp titled “Camp of Hope and Courage,” combining recreational activities, skill development and essential health services for specially-abled children.
The camp aims to provide children with an inclusive environment where they can enhance their skills, build confidence, and experience joy and camaraderie through diverse activities. Participating children have the opportunity to engage in a variety of creative exercises including arts and crafts, rock painting, storytelling sessions and fun indoor games, all designed to nurture their talents and stimulate their imagination.
Additionally, recognizing the importance of digital skills, the summer programme includes computer training sessions to help enhance technological literacy among physically handicapped children.
The initiative also emphasizes mental and emotional well-being by teaching mindfulness and self-care, highlighting the significance of emotional health in personal growth and resilience. Physiotherapy sessions are another integral part of the camp, offering personalized care and treatment which improves physical mobility and wellness.
Through the “Camp of Hope and Courage,” the National Special Education Centre reaffirms its commitment to creating opportunities and fostering inclusivity for physically challenged children, empowering them with practical skills, emotional resilience, and physical strength.
