Playing outdoor

Le Thi Kim Thu, director of Centre for Research and Development of Special Education in Danang, said outdoor activities for children were different from the adults. The planners must really care about children to build a suitable programme to support the chid's development.

According to the players from Omiya Ardija FC, they had been afraid that the children might not have the stamina to play outdoors for long but after they were glad to see that the children were very enthusiastic. They hope to be able to come back and visit the children again.

Ito Mai, a Japanese volunteer, has supported disabled children in Danang for nearly a year. She said she wanted to learn more experiences to support children and help them integrate.
