IWC of Amman Philadelphia visited the Center of ‘Peace Lady for the Disabled

Inner Wheel club of Amman Philadelphia, coinciding with the international day of the disabled persons on December the 3rd, paid a visit to the center of ‘Peace Lady for the Disabled’ on December the 7th presided by Mrs. Duha Bushnaq Abdulhadi and a group of her administrative committee.

The director of the center father Dr Shawqi gave an overview of the history of the establishment of the center and the services it gives to autistic children, the children with speech impairment, children with down-syndrome and the replacement of artificial limps manufactured locally by those in charge of this center.

We were then taken on a tour around the different parts of the center where we visited the church ‘ The Good Shepherd’ with its beautiful walls ornament murals, each saying a religious anecdote.

We also visited a small local chocolate factory made with love called ‘ Peace’.

After the tour we joined the children and distributed small presents and some cookies, we enjoyed reaching out to them by playing some music, we took souvenir pictures with them as well as with their dignified staff.

The center serves disabled children from the age of six till sixteen.

At the end of the visit Mrs Duha donated a sum of money and the director in his turn thanked the club president and her committee for this merciful gesture in sharing these happy and blessed times with the children that are less fortunate.
