When I was working at a Special Needs Center during my holidays I
met an adorable child called Sena who has beaten all odds and is 10
yrs old this year. When I heard his story tears streamed down my
cheeks.I was moved by the struggle he had to endure.This was when
the determination brewed in me to try and find a way to ease his
burdens.
Sena is an orphan boy who and he suffers from cerebral palsy (since
birth) which affects him neurologically and also causes physical
disability. Although his disability doesn’t
affect his mental ability to understand concepts, with ADHD he
requires special attention. Due to the limitations in terms of
schooling, resources and funds, he couldn’t
benefit from the special care that he needed. Needless to say, he
didn’t know his alphabet and could not even
count at the age of 9.However, since he joined the Louis Centre
there has been a marked improvement in his studies. His ability to
stay on at the centre and catch up to his peers however, is
uncertain at this point as fees are running out.
My quest is to raise RM 11,600 (fees from Mid Aug 2012
– Nov 2013) so that he can continue with his
education and have a chance at a life he
wouldn’t otherwise have. So far I have managed
to raise RM 1895.
My wish is to raise another RM 9705 and I am hoping that someone
out there will be able to help me make this wish come true so that
this child can have an education that will help him come up in
life. He may be handicapped and have learning disabilities but if
you met him you will see what a down to earth child he is. He is
always looking out for others and his amazing attitude towards life
will surely bring a tear to your eye.
Every contribution, no matter how small, will make a huge
difference in achieving this goal. Even a few ringgit contribution
would be welcomed, because it would mean one less hour of school
fees that needs to be raised! (It takes RM6 per hour to school
Sena).
