A Keep in Touch (KIT) Day to Remember.

We had a successful KIT Day in Nelson. Sue and Angela, the two Resource Teachers of the Deaf (RTDs), took six young people into town for an urban experience. For some, this was a day of 'firsts' - new experiences.

We met at the office, then caught a bus into the town centre. There, we did some urban orienteering activities, ate our lunch in a central park, went to a cafe where we enjoyed drinking hot chocolate, and then caught the bus back to our office.

Watching the children connect and enjoy each other's company was the highlight of the day. As was seeing the thrill they felt in riding on a bus and enjoying a cafe experience for the first time. As the children said 'Goodbye', they asked when the next KIT Day would be, an indicator of a great day.
