| Dear Friends,
We were tremendously blessed yesterday during our visit to The Salvation Army Shek Wu School. Shek Wu is a special school, basically a school for students with disabilities.
At the school there are students with Autism, Downs Syndrome, Epilepsy, and heart problems, as well as other disabilities.
Although we were nervous before going to the school, everything went very well. The students were so excited to see us. In fact when we got there the teachers brought all of the students into the school hall so we could greet them and they could greet us. Our first session was with a tenth grade class.
We were asked to sing songs with them because it was their music time. All of the students were very excited when we told them we wanted to sing This Is The Day because they knew the song in Cantonese.
Our second session was with second grade students. They we a lot of fun, we played Simon Says and sang the Hokey Pokey.
Then it was time for lunch and we got to eat with the students. The school provides lunches for them and they eat together in their classroom. At the end of our time at Shek Wu we were all sad to be leaving, we could have easily spent much more time there interacting with the students.
Thank You for all of your prayers and support,
Tracy Pilewski |
