Hello, everyone. Today I would like to share the experience of volunteer work with Special Olympic Hong Kong. Even that has happened two years ago, but I can still remember the picture at that time very clearly. It happened at 11 Dec 2014 and the event which called HKSO Regional Athletic Trail. During that day, I was arranged to be a timekeeper. My job duties were timing, record the time and send the athletes with mentally handicapped back to the stand. Before I join the volunteer work, I can’t believe that mentally handicapped people can have athletic meet, since I don’t think they have abilities to finish the competition. In this sports event, there were many competition events, such as 100m, 200m, throw bean bags etc. I saw them try their best to finish the competition. That very touched me, since when they were running, smile always on their face, I think they really enjoy to join the competition. So, that’s why I want to join the program of sport and recreation management in Technological and Higher Education Institute of Hong Kong. After this experience, I find that even mentally handicapped people, they also have right to enjoy sport and recreation activities. Therefore, after graduation, I hope I can help or even hold the sport and recreation activities or events to mentally handicapped people so that they can have more opportunities to join the sport and recreation activities because I also that they just like normal people to have right to join recreation and sports activities.
