last year a few of my residents participated in special olympics 2009 and they did us proud by winning back some medals for us. (:
and this year we got invited to join KCPPS in their annual sport's day. they even invited a few of my residents to participate in a simple race (60m).
it was a first time for a few residents who didnt get a chance (for various reasons) to participate in special O. and i'm sure it's also an unforgettable day for them. (:
i'm very thankful to have volunteers like them who remembered to show care and concern for the less fortunate. whom like us, are working hard to make their life as enriching and interesting as possible.
i really appreciate the kind thoughts they put in preparing the medals and trophy for my clients. i can never forget the look on their faces when they crossed the finishing lines and waited eagarly to collect their medals. that moment of happiness in them..
we decided to put this particular resident in even though he cant run fast. what motivated us to select him is his "never give up's attitude". yes, he cant run fast and even came in last but he perserve till the end and never give up! i'm really proud of him. you should see his happy and cheerful face when he finished the race. it doesnt matter to him that he came in last.. what matter most is HE COMPLETED THE RACE despite the difficulties he faced base on his own abilities. and this is something that we should learn from him. never give up.. never say die.. despite how bad the situation is. perserve on and you will be greeted with a beautiful rainbow after the rain.
the champions in my heart! (:
oh.. im honoured to be given the opportunity to give out medals/ trophy to the students. my first time and it's an incredible experience! hahaa. never will i dream of being treated like a 'VIP' for that day. hahaha. thank you for giving me this opportunity to share the joy with the winners! (:
they really felt like champion for a day, which makes them proud and happy.
thank you for bringing joy into their life and gave them an unforgettable experiences. (:
