Families in Touch Picnic with Puppets TCOR Locke Library in downtown Toronto was the scene of the TCOR Families in Touch event On November 13. We held an indoor picnic with a puppet show by the very talented and always entertaining, “Teaching Awareness Through Puppetry” Troupe with puppeteers Judi, Kirsten and Sylvia. This troupe performs puppet shows in elementary schools around Toronto to teach awareness, sensitivity and understanding about severe hemophilia, using a puppet that represents the late James Kreppner as a child. Judging by the laughter of the children, it was very enjoyable and also allowed some children to express their difficulties in explaining hemophilia to their friends. The children also showed their creativity by making their own puppets and spent the rest of the afternoon playing games that were coordinated by our very talented RSC Robin Nobleman and her equally talented brother, Josh Nobleman. We will hold another Families in Touch event next August and anticipate that it will be as successful as this one.
