Dream Catching for kids: Here is waht we neeed to proceed.

BECOME A DREAM CATCHER FOR SPECIAL NEEDS KIDS

An invitation from Paschal Baute, March 26, 2014

One out of 20 children are born handicapped. One out of 8, 15%, have some special need, handicap, adversity, trauma, or loss that slows learning and growing.  I was one of these “lost kids” until one teacher changed my life, at age 13, by believing in me.  More than other children these kids need to find hope and inspiration to cope with  adversity.  If we can save one child  from despair ,this project is worthwhile.

Stories and storytelling foster hope, dreams, and possibilities like the famous  Ugly Duckling. We dream of a storytelling festival designed for special needs children. Will you help?  Will you become a Dream Catcher for children needing hope.  

Our state is highest in the nation in child abuse. We aim to touch many hearts  Too many children  give up too soon without love and attention. They stop trying or escape into mischief.    It almost happened to me long ago. Let us parents, caregivers and storytellers use our gifts to foster grit in children with special needs. “It takes a village.”  We are that village.

I am a Spellbinder ™ storyteller and KSA member is a Dream Catcher: now recruiting persons to become a dream catcher with me.   Here are our needs,  with 5  months to go. Our immediate need is to  obtain Dream Catchers for these positions:
