The performance couldn't have gone any better. Our friends from certitude loved performing in front of their audience and it made them so happy. We loved it and so did the audience and everything went according to plan. Saying goodbye was a lot harder than I thought; everyone was emotional with quite a few teary-eyed people and it was then that we realised how attached we were to our certitude group. This project was truly inspiring and possibly the best project I've done at Brit because being around them made you happy. Every Monday they came in happy, ready to work and exited because for once they weren't at their day centre doing the same thing, but they were coming here and having fun. It was nice to know that I made a positive difference to their weekly routine.
Evaluation
This project has taught me that people with disabilities are like any other normal person but they have special needs that need to be met with special assistance. I've learnt that patience, understanding, motivation,being friendly and being able to explain something clearly are keys to working with disabled people. These skills I have developed are certainly things I can take with me and use in the future and working with disabled people is definitely something I would consider in the future.
