Skills development and emotional wellbeing of the members is a primary focus of OVAPD. Members of all physical and learning
disabilities take part in weekly dance and movement classes, craft classes, including knitting, as well as computer and literacy
classes. Some of the members have been trained to work in the kitchen and now make lunch for all the members on a daily basis
using foods donated by local supermarkets.
People with disabilities are often marginalised in their communities.
OVAPD has the attitude that the members can aspire to and achieve anything, and dedicates quality time and effort in creating a safe and nurturing environment for their development.
Deborah and her team fully believe that creating happy and motivated people will build a better community and allow people with disabilities to become valued members of society.
