ERFA supporters will be as delighted as we are to hear that Mary Rice Centre Kenya has reopened its doors earlier this month. Mary Rice Centre delivers a holistic education package to vulnerable children living with a disability in Kenya, including literacy, life skills and vocational training.
For children living with an intellectual disability who value the routine of the school day, the shutdown last year was particularly disruptive. We will keep our supporter network posted with all the great news sure to come out of the centre this year!
Congratulations to brave and extraordinary Grace Tame on being named Australian of the Year.
