A friend sent me a link to this article at Mr Brown's blog and today I saw it in yahoo newsroom. (strangers-at-s-pore-cafe-pay-for-family-child-who-has-autism).
It is heartwarming. Also, in my opinion it does seem that there is an increase in awareness of the special needs community through the collective efforts of many different organisations, schools etc.
Some of the events that I remember are:-
1. Rainbow School's annual carnival last Sat.
2. Coming up this weekend, St John St Mary's church is having the first Awareness Weekend on special needs.
Dates: 19 & 20 Oct
Time: Sat 5pm, Sun 815 & 1115am
For those bringing special needs children, Sat's service is designed to cater to the special needs children.
3. On 15 Nov, there will also be a performance put together by volunteers for the special needs children to enjoy and also for fundraising.
4. And thanks to kind souls, this year Christmas party for the special needs children that I know (in support group) have already been paid for (the location, the food, the presents).
Keep it up Singapore!
Who say we are the least emotional nation in the world?
