Caring is the one most noble pursuit

Last Friday,as usual i went to school but em.... I knew i have another significance things to do instead of going to class and study because that day i have an opportunity to help people , who need my help so much - the disabilities (OKU) students.They came from 20 schools including the primary and the secondary school as well. I love to do this kind of activities,not only it gives me the chance to collect an experiences but also get to know more about the disabilities children . I'm the one of the five students , who had been selected to participate in this program - Program Outreach Pendidikan Khas Kementerian Pelajaran Malaysia. The others are Ivy, Riss, Andreson and Fronica. We are all from the same class - 5 Alpha. There are a lot of events in this program since our school is the host, who entertain another as our guess. Five of us already done all the biographical details of the disabilities students in our school for the exhibition on that day. Yeah, and the others public display about their activity for the past whole year until this year. And while the five of us work hard to present the best for the guess who might come on that day, then we realize that some of the disabilities students have higher accomplishment than the normal students in our school no matter in the aspect of curriculum or co-curriculum. Its such an amazing grace. We were so proud to give a little talk on our disabilities children in our school to the people, who came and ask a question about them. And there are also a bunch of handicraft, sewing and drawing products made by the disabilities students that are exhibited on that day.

At the same time on that day,the students, who came from different schools are being tested by the expert to identify their problem . Basically , there are 3 types of test that the students will be given at : hearing, eyesight and study. Based on the test, we can determine what kind of problem that actually faced by the students. And the disease that they might have are Dyslexia, Down syndrome, deafness and having problem in their eyesight. Dyslexia is a learning difficulty which holds no simple definition; psychologists continue to have difficulties providing clear cut answers as to what it is or how it is actually caused.Down syndrome is a chromosomal disorder caused by the presence of all or part of an extra 21st chromosome.This mean the people who has this illness is caused by the presence of an extra chromosome.Well, i guess i don't have to talk too much on that illness. You guys can check out for more info from the internet.

It was almost one and a half o'clock and 2 o'clock the students will present a song and dance for the Tarian Sumazau. Nah, its time for the girls to do the make up... Although i'm not good at it, but i do know some of the basic. They present it very well. Well done and good job for you guys. Oh ya, i also met a guy on the exhibition. He shared a quiz question for me and i gave him mine. We having a good time. That was really enjoying but so sad i can took a picture with him and also the picture of all the activities at there as a memory. But nevermind it will always be a memory in my mind.

We can put together a collection of links to bring people a hope and help. Knowing that they are not alone in their suffering and they have someone to share it with, which can make a very big difference. Perhaps one of the hardest things in life is coping with illness and pain. In some ways, it can be even harder when we are having to look after a loved one who is ill, than with our own illness. God Bless All of them and also you . Amen.
