SPECIAL needs children and their families enjoyed a nature-inspired gathering entitled Community Blooms, an eco-themed activation day of fun and socialising yesterday.
The event was co-organised by non-profit community groups One Heart Bahrain (OHB) and Special Families Support (SFS) at the Farmers Market held at Budaiya Botanical Gardens.
“We wanted to offer a meaningful experience for special needs children, emphasising a unified perspective on humanity and the shared responsibility for our planet,” explained one of the organisers Birthe van der Heijden, founder of OHB, an unregistered charity group. She collaborated with the Bahrain chapter of the international organisation SFS, founded in Dubai and with a presence in the Indian city of Mumbai.
