P a g e | 26 There are also 8 specialised schools for children with visual, hearing, physical and intellectual disabilities. Some of these are owned and run by GoL and others are privately owned. The GoL involves children in its celebrations of cultural holidays such as Moshoeshoe Day. As does Morija Arts and Cultural Festival. Children often dance, sing and present readings at cultural events. Difficulties The lack of child-friendly institutions in all Districts, such as Children's Courts, means that child participation is a lot higher in the capital Maseru than in outlying Districts. Children have a correlatively decreased access to information, the more rural the area is in which they live. Due to societal values surrounding children's status within communities, children for the most part would fear the wrath of their elders in making their opinions heard. There is a severe lack of trained personnel in Lesotho capable of eliciting child views free from fear of punishment.
