A Very Special Walk is an event organised by the Autism Resource Centre in Singapore every year. In 2016, it took the shape of a gigantic funfair, with game booths, food, a concert and a shop selling souvenirs. This event is aimed at helping to raise funds for the aforementioned Autism Resource Centre to help autistic adults to find employment and to fund the Eden Centre for Adults, which helps to enrich the lives of autistic adults. It was held on 30th of August at the Enabling Village. There, we helped to manage the game booths to help them earn money for their fund-raising cause. I feel that the event went rather well, however it was a bit disorganised at times as there was a huge crowd. As such, we feel that we could have done things better if we had implemented a crowd control system to help to manage the crowd flow, like maybe have a few Scouts act as ushers and direct the crowd to where they want to go so that the event can run better. From this experience, I have broadened my horizons. I learnt that we should be compassionate and respectful towards those with autism. Through this activity, we saw and interacted with many of these people and we realised that they are just like you and me. They, in all aspects, are like normal human beings and they should be loved and accepted by our society. We should not discriminate against them as this is unfair and unjust. They have feelings too and should be respected and not stigmatised. We also saw some of their artwork that was being put on sale. All the art looked fantastic and looked like they were drawn with much love and care. They exhibit much talent in the artistic domain and, if given the chance to develop their ability further, can surely turn out to be highly successful artists who make SIngapore proud in the global arena. In addition, I learnt about the hard work that the Autism Resource Centre has been putting in to help all these people. The people who organised this event and who volunteer at the Center really have big hearts and a lot of compassion to care for the other people around them. They also put a lot of work into these fund-raising and awareness events. I feel that this event has been highly successful, with over $600,000 raised, and with many people visiting the event and learning more about autistic people, myself included. Like me, I am sure many others have dispelled their myths about autism and this event has broadened their worldview and made them more empathetic towards autistic people. I respect the volunteers greatly and hope that I can be like them one day. Therefore, I intend to start volunteering at related organisations near me in the future to give back to the community. For me, giving back to the community is of utmost importance, as my community has done much for me. As the saying goes “It takes a village to raise a child.” Throughout my life, many people have touched my life and made it better, letting me lead a privileged and comfortable life. I feel that now, it is the time for me to give back, to do unto others what they have done unto me. To repay back kindness with even more kindness. As the Scout law urges us to do our duty to our country and help other people, I, as a Scout, am honour-bound to carry out this lofty visions, and humbly hope that my efforts will come to fruition and make somebody happy.
