I have been taking care of these Special Needs Children for 2 consecutive years in Special Needs Children Family Camp. I believe the camp not only teaches the children, in some ways it teaches us counselors to be more patient and loving. Some of us do not have brothers and sisters and when we take care of these children, you feel like that special kid is your sibling.
In my experiences, I have taken care of Chong Jin Hao and
Low Zhong Han (who has ADHD) and when I leave them after the camp, I feel like
I have lost someone I love. These children are not just children whom you play
with, these children need people who understand them and care for them.
This year's camp has changed me but I pray it will change
me even more next year. But my goal next year, is to make an impact in
someone's heart, doesn't matter if its the child or the parent. Despite the
differences in these children, they are also God's amazing creations. But some
children, they need extra special care because their parents are not in the
camp because they have to work.
But as a counselor, I do not expect to get paid because I
volunteered to help with taking care of children. I believe we will definitely
be blessed in Heaven. And although some counselors are forced by their parents
to come to this camp to help, I'm sure God will use them fully.
I'd like to thank Pastor Bee Leng, Aunt Phoebe Long and
all the staff/counselors this year for teaching me new things. This year's camp
has changed me but I pray it will change me even more next year. Although this
camp was meant for the children to have fun, who says the counselors can't have
fun? I believe as long as there is love and faith, there will be miracles. 相信有爱, 就有奇迹.
