“Educated young people normally do not like to work with special children like these. I have my ALs but I love working with them. It gives me a lot of satisfaction to see how they have developed over the years. It’s a great achievement for me too. I got special training from the sisters and I am sure that this job gives me the most satisfaction.”

“These children have hidden talents. They should be given the same opportunity as others to use and develop these. I try to provide them with these opportunities. It is a challenge but I get satisfaction and a great joy in doing this”

I am very happy working with these children. I wanted a job in the health services but as I couldn’t get a job in the Ministry I applied for this one. But now I find I get a lot of satisfaction working with these special children. I am a Buddhist and I get merit for this service.

Not many people like to work with these special children. I get a lot of fulfillment by helping these young people to develop their own talents and making them independent to the maximum possible.
