A Meaningful Family Outing @ Pusat Penjagaan Kanak-Kanak Cacat Klang

Our second visit to Pusat Penjagaan Kanak-Kanak Cacat Klang (PPKCK) occurred on the following Saturday, 7 May 2011, slightly less than a week later. On this visit we brought along disposable diapers in various sizes, which we found out to be one of the items heavily utilised in handicapped centres but the least received in contribution, maybe due to ignorance or cost.

There were few memorable and heartwarming moments on this visit which made my heart swell with pride for my dearest husband. One of it, watching the Big Guy play and sing to a kid who is unable to sit up due to a weak muscle condition.  There are few other kids with similar condition, all kept inside the house, lovingly and patiently cared by three female Indonesian staff.  Husband with teary-eyed told me that he especially feel for this kids and unable to hold back tears when talking to them.  He tells me that, despite not being able to move or talk, he feels that these kids can hear and understand. Another heartwarming scene is that of my lovable husband giving piggy-back rides to two of the kids with Down Syndrome. His warmth and affection are infectious and soon one by one approached him requesting for a ride on his back, which he patiently obliged, no matter how heavy they are.

My pride for my three boys is no less either, cause they have no qualms or reservation in interacting with these kids and were playing with them without discrimination. Bless their hearts, they even allow some of these kids to bully them, something which they would not compromise with their own brothers. Our eldest son also took well to these kids despite this being his first visit. It warmed my heart to watch him tirelessly pushing one disabled kid on wheelchair all over the place.   

Time really seem to fly when we were there and we soon realised that we had spent several hours there already and even missed lunch… So with heavy hearts, we bid farewell to these kids whom we grow more and more fonder of with each visit. We were each rewarded with big warm hugs from them as their way of showing appreciation to us for spending time with them.
