Me, bb and wan ni went down all the way to Serangoon Stadium for Volunteering work on sat. And we stayed there all the way from 7am in the morning til 5plus 6pm ok.

Well, basically its an event held by the Singapore Disability Sports Council where a few of the schools for the disable will gather and have a sports day kind of tingy, quite a big event cos the volunteering helpers itself requires 40 people.

the schools that attended includes Chao Yang School (that was the school that was near my secondary school last time but they moved not long after my secondary school was being demolished. ), J.R morgan, Balestier Hill Secondary school (i guess there are some classes for disable students there at Balestier Hill secondary school), and some other few..

and Thanks for the super SUNNY weather that day, and me and wan ni has got to do some leading and running around work under Mr sunshine.

But worst of all, my bb was station directly on the field because he was in charge of javalin and discus.

My poor bb !

He got serious sunburnt.

Its the first time we did Volunteering work, and of cos, we are nervous and did not know how to handle them, how to communicate with them and are afraid that there might be some things that we do or say that might be sensitive to them.. Because some of them are blind, some has got problem walking, some are deaf, some are mute, some lost a arm, some has got lower mentality..

But from the way they participate in the games, i see none of their disability; in fact, what i see was courage, strength of living, confidence, and spirit; pure soul.

There are a few times where they fell hard on the ground during the race, but still, they picked themself up and continue all the way til the ending point.

It kind of hurts to see them fall down, i think especially their parents, but once they pick themself up, the whole stadium was filled with cheering and clapping!

Lunch Time ! (finally)

Wan ni with a shag face !
