Title: CAHS 2007 Storybook Farm View count: 23 Rating: 5.0 (1 ratings) Description: Storybook Farm is a Hope on Horseback program in Opelika, Alabama, serving children with mental, emotional, and physical disabilities. In today's globalized world, e-mail and text messaging have replaced face-to-face interaction, and it would be easy for disabled children to be left behind. The efforts of employees and volunteers at Storybook Farm show that some still recognize the need to devote personal attention to children. The documentary focuses on the special needs that children, particularly those with disabilities, have, which are often neglected by the fast-paced globalized society. Interviews with workers, volunteers, and parents showed that the one hour per week spent at the farm for riding sessions greatly benefited the children, mostly because of close interaction with volunteers. Storybook Farm truly is an olive tree that Opelika can be proud of, twenty-five acres virtually unaffected by the Lexus. Tags: storybook, farm, Author: kms0013 |
