Various activities of the two centres in Gisborne are pictured here.

Young people at the Kahutia Occupation Centre in Bright Street gain much from the centre's training. Activities include visits to the Y.M.C.A. for gymnastic training where exercises are taken on the trampoline (above left and centre), and on the ropes (above right).

During the summer swimming takes place in the Awapuni school baths. Involvement in outside activities helps these people to understand the rest of the world and the rest of the world to understand them. Don't forget that appeal, will you? The unfortunate circumstance of being intellectually handicapped can happen to anyone's child anywhere.
