Delivery of playful and didactic material and support at the Hixikanwe Association

around 70 children were present at the distribution of the playful material and support

The playful and didactic material delivered was composed of dolls, balls, children's story books (by national authors), toy cars, colouring books, paintbrushes, watercolours, among others, which will be used for the specialized service of recreational monitoring and psycho-emotional support.

This activity will be coordinated by a responsible early childhood educator, who will assist in the learning and development of the cognitive, psychological, and affective functions of more than 500 daughters and sons of women users of the care services provided by the Hixikanwe Association.

After distributing the recreational material, naturally, the excited and radiant girls and boys ran to form groups. Some only wanted to know about dolls, paintings, and drawings; and others wanted to know about tennis, football and toy car racing, to see who the best driver was.

There was also time for a reading competition, selecting a representative of the girls and another of the boys, who were challenged to read the story that won the National Children's Literature Award, “The chameleon that had unlearned how to change colour”, by Pedro Pereira Lopes. During this festive day there was no shortage of singing, dancing and countless games and laughter to liven up the children's activities.

In total, around 70 children were present at the distribution of the playful material and support, from different neighbourhoods that make up the Municipal District of Kamubukwana, in Maputo.
