Orientation and Mobility in the heart of the mountains

In the spring of this year, we organised two orientation and mobility trips to Predeal, bringing together children, parents, grandparents, teachers and the puppy Cola. These trips are part of the foundation's traditional activities, offering participants a wonderful opportunity to enjoy nature, learn and relax in a safe and friendly environment. For us, these meetings are extremely valuable, giving us the opportunity to learn and energise ourselves. Such encounters give us meaning.

„The coolest thing”

The first trip took place in April, with participants from partner schools in Arad, Bucharest, Iași, Cluj, Tg. Frumos and Timisoara. On the first day, we set off for Sinaia, where we took the cable car up to 1400 meters above sea level. "This is the coolest thing!" was one student's excited exclamation, perfectly capturing the sense of adventure and discovery experienced by all present.

Up on the mountain, we had a picnic and enjoyed the dream scenery and the bright sun. On the way down, a ride on the little train and a visit to the courtyard of the Peleș Castle completed a perfect day.

The second day was dedicated to activities and games for knowledge, skills and development of independent life and socialisation skills, both individually and in teams. We also had a creative workshop where we prepared various arts and crafts for Easter, and at the end everyone expressed their appreciation.

"Everything makes sense in the meetings with Sense"

"Everything makes sense in the meetings with Sense" - this was the motto of the second orientation and mobility trip, organized in May, with participants from Arad, Bucharest, Focșani, Galați, Oradea and Sibiu. This meeting continued the successful tradition of the first trip, emphasising communication, knowledge and acceptance.

And this time, we explored the city of Sinaia, where we had a picnic in the Royal Park and visited the interior of the Peles Castle. The children were particularly impressed by what they discovered inside the castle, every corner of it being a source of fascination and learning.

The next day continued with activities specific to these meetings, in a safe and friendly environment, surrounded by soap bubbles, to the delight of our friend Cola.

Spring raffle

In both the first trip and the second, all participants enjoyed the spring raffle. The sensory gifts added excitement and joy, creating a moment of surprise and reward for all participants. It was an opportunity to celebrate teamwork and give everyone a small souvenir of this memorable experience. Witnessing the excitement of discovery is a magical moment that we cherish!

In conclusion, these two orientation and mobility trips were not only opportunities to learn and explore, but also unforgettable moments of personal connection and growth and the joy of being together with others who share the same challenges and victories. We want to provide valuable support and opportunities for children and young people with deafblindness and multiple sensory disabilities and demonstrate that together any obstacle can be overcome and any adventure can be lived to the fullest.
