6 Months Youth for Autism Internship at Pathlight School (Dec 2013 – June 2014)

Testimonial from YFA Website https://yfa.autism.org.sg/
" Apart from being able to be a part of the special needs community, and being a part of my students' lives, I think the one thing I enjoyed most from this programme, was the opportunity to understand autism, and impact lives. Every morning, I enter the school, I enter work, feeling cheery and purposeful, because of the meaning of my work, and the smiles of the students. Everyday is a day to build relationships with these students whom I would have never been able to meet without this programme. Everyday is a day to learn from them, about the purity and innocence of life from different perspectives, and everyday is a day to help them improve in terms of their behaviour/social skills.
The programme allowed me to erase my stereotypes, and truly appreciate the sanctity and dignity of life. I enjoyed working with my students, creating meaningful relationships and making a difference in society.
Thank you for this experience!"
