Music In Colour festival
“This year IFB is celebrating 60 years of existence and as one of their partners we will also host a celebration event and is getting the community involved through a poetry competition.”
ON August 31, Känguru is hosting a Music In Colour festival.
Känguru Institute for the Disabled is a residential care facility for 42 severe/profound disabled children in Kliprivier, just south of Alberton.
Känguru forms part of the IFB group from Germany. In 1959 the IFB-Stiftung (a non-profit-foundation) was established in Wiesbaden, Leibzig and started to support in 2007 in South Africa through Lowenmut. IFB’s main aim is to improve the lives of disabled people.
The IFB group supply Känguru with used equipment from time to time and skills through volunteers from their other organisations during the year.
IFB currently has 55 organisations in Germany that does work for people with disabilities of all ages. Thus the knowledge Känguru get from them is very important.
Känguru is a 100 per cent South African owned NPO.
Poetry competition
This year IFB is celebrating 60 years of existence and as one of their partners Känguru will also host a celebration event. The idea for all of the celebrations is to use the initials of IFB put into a human feeling. I Feel B…
Because Känguru believes in inclusion they decided on I Feel Belonging and to make a statement they also choose I Feel BOLD.
People with a disability should no longer stand in the background. Their lives matter too and they too can make a big impact in our country if only given a chance.
Känguru would like to get the community involved by doing a competition with poetry.
Write a poem to express your feeling by using the I Feel B… theme.
Submit your poem before August 27. The winner gets to read his poem at the celebration and there are prizes to be won.
