It was a long time coming but finally, after two years of COVID disruptions, a group of Gosford NDIS participants had the opportunity to celebrate International Day of People with Disability together.
The group met up with their peers from Wyong and Chatswood for a lunchtime barbecue on the Hawkesbury River on December 2 to celebrate International Day of People with Disability (December 3).
In total, 40 young adults living with disability came together for the end of year celebration.
Point Clare participant Nicolette Gogwana said it was fun and exciting to socialise with the ther participants.
“My favourite part of the day was the sausage sandwich and the playground, and I enjoyed spending time with the other participants in a relaxed setting at the river,” she said.
Omnia Inclusive CEO Deborrah Lambourne said the event was a chance for the students to get to know one another and expand on their social connections and skills.
“Finding opportunities to connect with others has been a challenge during the pandemic, so this event was extra special,” said Deborrashe said.
“International Day of People with Disability is such an important day to recognise the achievements and contributions of all people living with disability
“Our participants have each achieved so much this year as they work towards their life and career goals.
“This event was a well-deserved celebration; a wonderful chance to build on their social skills, build their confidence and a fabulous opportunity to have fun together.”
