Individuals with special needs
Why Focus
In this society, there are numerous special groups that need attention.
In my experience as a teacher and parent, many children have hidden or unrecognized developmental imbalances that can be improved through psychological therapy or special support. However, because they are labeled as problematic children or underachievers, both schools and parents are troubled by this group of children.
Our Goal
Currently, the foundation is based on past causes and effects, and we continue to focus on the family relationships of children with reading disabilities, as well as groups with mild cerebral palsy and Down syndrome who have the ability to be encouraged to live a normal life.
Our Work
The Love Volunteer Club
The Love Volunteer Club collaborates with the If Love Second-hand Market. Sunshine Kids are the disabled individuals in our community. They have a childlike attitude given to them by nature, along with an eternal radiant smile.
When we first met them at the end of 2007, their innocent and eager gaze made us brave enough to shake their hands, which were so weak and frail. We were reluctant to let go, and at that moment, we decided that we were willing to do everything in our power to help them.
The Sunshine Kids Club, established by the foundation, aims to gather Sunshine Kids, from students to those who have just entered the workforce, and recruit caring volunteers to accompany them in various activities, engage in conversations, and help them integrate into society.
Our goal is to help Sunshine Kids: integrate into society, shine their own light, explore their potential, build confidence, and live a better life, allowing all participants to grow together in love and being loved, helping and being helped.
The Seeds of Love
For a long time, consulting a psychologist was considered abnormal and associated with mental illness, which hindered parents from seeking help through psychological counseling. Just like the body can catch a cold, the mind also needs a doctor to help with recovery.
Therefore, we made a vow to hold free psychological lectures for a year, focusing on learning disabilities and family relationships, to provide an opportunity for all interested and concerned parents who have reservations about psychological counseling, especially face-to-face communication with psychologists, to participate and demystify psychological counseling.
In 2015, we invited nearly 30 well-known psychological counseling experts from Shanghai to conduct various lectures and workshops on different topics related to the same issue. We called this the “Seed of Love” initiative, which aimed to open up new perspectives on family education.
It may not have had an immediate impact at the time, but eventually, this seed of love would sprout and nourish those around us with the fragrance of love. Since March 2015, we have persisted in holding over 40 events, attracting over 5000 participants to join this initiative of the seed of love.
