This SLB visit was an event for students from grade 11 and 12, accompanied by Mr Mario as the program director, Ms Joice, and me. We departed from BSD to Pamulang using a military truck. The students were quite excited, even though some of them had to stand all the way to the SLB.
At the SLB, each student (or with a partner) was assigned to a class. They had to assist the children in that class. When the students saw the disable-kids for the first time, there were signs of fears and doubts in their faces. It was a view that they have never seen before. Children in this facility have mental retardation conditions. Some of them have also other disability, they have speaking and/or hearing problems. Some even have to stay in a wheelchair.
After Saint John's students mingled for a while, they eventually get used to interact with the kids. Some of the students even seemed to have fun together!
One thing for sure if you see this kind of school, the children with special needs... is that you should be thankful for what you are now with all your abilities.
