Just wanted to keep you posted on the progress of Yasmine, one of our students with cerebral palsy at Huruma who is making great progress learning to walk.  As you can see (from this better quality video) she has been climbing down stairs all by herself!  Stay tuned for when she starts taking steps on her own!

Walking down stairs!

At Huruma Special Unit (David's school) we have opened up a new classroom at the Pasiansi Parish to alleviate the cost of transporting students who live far from our school in Nyasaka.  One of the hidden benefits of this classroom is the stairs right next to it are great tools for physical therapy.  A woman from the Netherlands named Esther, herself a physical therapist, suggested we use them as such when she visited on Wednesday.  Here is Yasmine, who up until now could not walk on her own, discovering how to walk down stairs with as little help as possible.  As you can see she was very happy!

Sorry, the video starts out with high contrast, but gets better contrast the further she gets down the stairs.
