It was a Saturday like none other, it had been raining heavily the whole week …. so imagine everyone’s surprise and the prayers of thanks when the day started out with the brighest sunshine Camerons has had in days 🙂 (p.s in rained again on Sunday so guess the break in the weather was really due to allow this programme to be conducted as planned)
The kids arrived bright and early and our activities began with actions songs. When asked what songs they knew by heart… believe it or not it was the Negara Ku. So we all stood and sang it out loud, Was a nice change to hear the kids sing it with pride and not have to be forced as I remember that when I taught secodary school kids I had to force them to sing and often they would just lip synch it.
These kids are indeed very Special; even with their limitations they participated in all the activities with eager enthusiasm. They sang, marched, played a recycle game and even took a short walk into the jungle trail. They had a good time and one could see that they enjoyed being in the outdoors.REACH would like to thank the volunteers Angeline (for coordinating the programme with Rumah Kanak-kanak Khas Pembelajaran Tanah Rata), the parents and teachers from the home, Saras Melody and Erica for making this a truly special day and not forgetting thank God for the great sunny day:)
