Since joining The War Amps Child Amputees (CHAMP) Program, Shawn Baldwin of Oshawa, Andrew Baptiste of Whitby, James Jordan of Bowmanvillc and Amanda Van Voorden of Courtice, have found it to be a continual learning experience and an opportunity to help others. This feeling was renewed when they attended the 1998 Ontario CHAMP Seminar in Mississauga this spring. James, 13 and Andrew 19, 'were both born partial left arm amputées; Shawn 16, is ' missing part'of both legs due to medical reasons and Amanda 9, was bom missing her left hand. All were enrolled in CHAMP and, as members are eligible to receive financial assistance with the cost of artificial limbs including travel costs for fittings and limb repairs, counselling and Seminars like this one. The War Amps also encourages CHAMPS to lead full and active lives and so covers the full cost of recreational recreational limbs. CHAMP Graduates receive assistance with tuition and books while enrolled in post-secondary school. At the Seminar, the four attended a session where Champs demonstrated some of their artificial limbs. Shawn showed his artificial limbs and a special sports bag he uses to carry them. Amanda showed the device she uses to hold a skipping rope. Andrew demonstrated his weight-training arm and James has a hockey device and sports arm. Other sessions included: parent counselling, to assist in raising an amputee child; What Bugs Me, a forum-style session where CHAMPS talk about things - like teasing and staring - that sometimes "bug" them about being amputees and a look at new developments in artificial limbs. Older CHAMPS are Junior Counsellors at the Seminar, answering questions and providing advice in sessions sessions like What Bugs Me. By doing so, they show CHAMPS how they handled the very same problems while growing up. Another session discussed how amputees can overcome employer prejudice through computers. CHAMPS were shown that by developing computer skills at a young age, they can be a valuable asset in the workplace and overcome an employer's hesitancy. hesitancy. War Amps Chief Executive Officer Cliff Chadderton encourages CHAMPS to enter what The War Amps calls The Winner's Circle by overcoming an amputation and living life to the fullest. These four CHAMPS have all been "Safety Ambassadors" on The War Amps PLAYSAFE float in parades. James also helped present an honorary CHAMP membership at the Seminar to Art Fylcs of The War Amps Toronto Branch. CHAMP and all War Amps programs arc funded solely through public support of the Key Tag and Address Label Service.
