This afternoon me, Kathy, Sherry, Garith and David left school at 12:45 to join in a charity activity,hold by Garith's mum's company to have a activity lesson with some disabled people. When I arrived their and saw them sitting in the room, I am kind of surprise because they are all adults, a lots older than us, not in my imagine we will face a group of kids and played with them. Later after spent about ten ,minutes them, you can tell their different, they are that special ones, a kid's soul live in an adult's body. Most do them just like a primary students, their thought and behaves are simple and easy to understand.
Maybe in many normal people's vision, they are poor and sad but in fact when you be in touch with them, you can easily tell, they are happy and satisfied in their own world, in their own way. They just like really kids, they do not think too complicated, they get their happiness easily and effect and amazing me.
As soon as we arrived we started playing a game called "escape", the volunteers tied people's hands or feet with the people next to them and five people as a group, to compete which group opened all the knots first and the group wins and can get a small present. This is a super easy or even childish or boring to us but they just played so happily and treated it so seriously, so that made you also realized something really different, the easy game became more valuable and you will happy with them when you saw them hugging with each others when they won the game.
There is an old story told the children who have infantile autism are the angels who broke their wings so the god let them live with us to bring the truth of art and life to us, they live in their own world without the external noise so they can immerse into their work and fully develop themselves. For example, during today's activity, the monitor of their class was super good at making beads models and another one had a very nice voice which can be perfect if he get formal teaching. A lot of them are genius artists and have amazing thought and dream and can spend whole life to make it into truth.
The world is good, never think these kind of people are poor, they are happy in their way even more happy than us because they do not think to much and have so much pressure from others, they are more innocent and natural than us:) the world is good and it's always great!!!
