Dino had an away-day today and went to the NECI special needs school in Prai da Luz to see the students. There are about 25 of them all with varying degrees of age and disability
Dino was brilliant and let each and every one of them have a turn at holding and stroking him and of course having their photograph taken with him, he'll do anything for a few nuts.
It was very special to see the reaction on their faces with only one who wasn't so keen but he still had a go.
Lynette did a bit of an introduction and presentaion and asked if anyone knew what kind of things Dino would eat (with an inturpreteur), expecting a reply of "nuts" or whatever that is in Portuguese. These students are smart, especially when one replied "food".
Next time we are taking the students horse riding.
