I tell you, it is made of cardboard boxes.
When I sent this photo to my circle of friends, a friend replied, "Isn't that very creative? ! "
Yes, the "Santa Claus", "Christmas tree" and "house" in the photo are all made of cardboard boxes, including the "sleigh" where Santa Claus rides, and the raw materials are also cardboard boxes.
As for the reindeer with a red nose, it is said that it is still being processed.
Don't think I did it. My brain is not creative and my hands are not delicate. These works are all from users and employees of our Hope Mountain Day Care Service Center for the Disabled.
According to the classification of disabled people in China, the disabled people mentioned here belong to speech disability, mental disability, intellectual disability and hearing disability, and some users also belong to repetitive disability. For example, a person has both speech disability and mental disability, and everyone has their own unique personality.
It is such a group of people, all kinds of obstacles, we take them in the morning, exercise during the day, take care of meals at noon and send them back at four or five in the afternoon.
Their age ranges from 20 to 83. Some people live with their parents, some live in facilities that can provide 24-hour service, some live in a place called Group House (GH), and several people share a room.
Our job is to reduce the burden on parents, so that they have a place to go, a place to move, a platform to communicate with others and a space to develop their abilities during the day. More importantly, let them live a valuable life and let them feel the beauty and happiness of life by themselves.
These are not slogans. Our employees have infiltrated these concepts that sound like slogans into every corner for a long time. Today, we will talk about creative activities made by hand.
Hand-made every month, according to the seasonal planning, 165438+ 10 "Halloween" has passed, and it has entered the Christmas preparation activities in 65438+February. This time, 22-year-old Hasegawa is in charge of planning.
Hasegawa is less than 165 in height. He has a gentleman's hairstyle of the Republic of China, but he doesn't care. At first glance, he looks like a brown bowl on his head and is covered with meat. He speaks slowly, but laughs loudly. Sometimes he looks like a Doraemon.
In this "Doraemon", one day he saw a pile of old cartons on the edge of the corridor, and immediately had an idea, and asked whether cartons could be used as Santa Claus's "body". This proposal was immediately strongly supported by users and other employees, so the construction began.
If you need to use tools or work with complicated procedures, employees will do it themselves, and then separate all the details in production and divide the work according to each user's specialty. You have a leg, I have an arm, he has an upper body, I have a whole head ... After I get dressed, I will grow a glistening beard and draw a picture at last.
The strange expression of "Santa Claus" in the photo comes from Suzuki, 8 1 year old. The mentally retarded old man stooped and drew seriously, saying, "Don't catch a cold!" "
I don't think Santa Claus will ever catch a cold. Grandpa Suzuki said this because he had just recovered from a serious illness.
"Santa Claus" is ready, and a user said, "Santa Claus came here in the snow." Hasegawa Jun said, "Then make a snowboard out of a cardboard box!"
The task of "skiing" was given to employees in Qi Teng and two other users. According to employees in Qi Teng, it is the most difficult to make skis, especially the size, which is very difficult for users. In order to make Santa Claus sit still, he almost broke his upper body. After finishing one sled, the other one will not be done, saying it is too big to stand. Haha, this is too capricious. "Santa Claus" is not easy, sorry, this year's "sleigh" is a single board, I hope you can slide safely.
As for why it was painted brown, I asked Qi Teng, and Qi Teng said, "Ask Hasegawa, I wasn't there when I painted the color." . I asked Hasegawa, and he thought about it and giggled: "I don't know." You look pale.
Then who should I ask? I had to laugh with him, and he deliberately didn't tell me.
"Self-support" is the central concept of Japan's well-being, that is, "using decadence": treat every user equally, give full play to everyone's advantages, tap everyone's potential, and let everyone feel the joy of participation.
For example, some users with severe mental retardation need to let them hold hands. The low "tile house" next to "Santa Claus" in the photo is also made of cardboard boxes, so the appearance should be beautified. The employees gave him a piece of paper, held his hand and tore it off at will, and then glued the torn pieces to the tiles in an orderly way.
However, it is difficult to keep the balance of the Christmas tree when building the frame. It is said that it was hit several times and two shelves were scrapped. Finally, chubby Hasegawa made the "tree" unstable. So everyone joked: "It seems that trees should also have weight!" At this point, Hasegawa giggled again, his face piled high and his eyes squeezed into a crack.
The "green leaves" on the Christmas tree are made of soft paper originally used to make "flowers", which is different from the material used to make "roof tiles".
Tear it piece by piece, stick it bit by bit, layer by layer, so there is a house and a tree. ...
Large-scale creation like this sometimes takes a week to complete. Because of the epidemic, there are fewer opportunities to go out, and indoor manual creation activities have become popular.
When I went to see "Santa Claus" after work, I felt that the expression on the old man's face was not good-looking, and suddenly he became cute, but when I looked down again, I couldn't help laughing when I found that the old man had no "feet".
Imperfect Santa Claus, I hope you can bring us gifts, peace, happiness and blessings as scheduled this year.
