Disability Month celebration

MIDRAND – Cresset House, a residential and work facility for adults with intellectual disabilities recently celebrated Disability Month.

 

Cresset House, a residential and work facility for adults with intellectual disabilities celebrated Disability Month (3 November to 3 December) by holding a fête which was sponsored by the Midrand Christen Gemeente.

This event was fun for the residents of Cresset, but at the same time allowed the organisation to continue their mission of breaking down misconceptions about people with disabilities.
