While we’ve often highlighted the efforts of our volunteers, today we want to do something a little different — we want to share the great work a couple of Hacking for the Holidays supporters are doing to raise funds to ensure kids with disabilities get the adapted toys they need to play independently.
A successful collaboration between Place aux compétences, École Anna-Malenfant, and our Makers Making Change and Solutions programs resulted in the creation of a simple yet effective 3D-printed adaptation for a Neil Squire client preparing to return to work with pain and limited left arm mobility.
When students at Gretna Green School’s Gator Designs extracurricular maker club learned they would be building switches for kids with disabilities for our Hacking for the Holidays campaign, they felt inspired to take it one step further.
Hamza is in his final year of studies for a Kinesiology degree at the University of Saskatchewan. He has also recently become a Clubs That Care youth leader for Neil Squire’s Makers Making Change program, leading volunteers in making adapted toys and devices for kids with disabilities.
CTV Saskatoon recently did a great feature on Nicolas, one of our Clubs That Care leaders, and the great work he is doing to provide assistive technology to his community.
