Miri Chapter of SO Sarawak is pleased to announce the formation of SO Sarawak’s first Family Support Network today.
The event was in conjunction with the official introduction of Young Athletes Program in two PDKs (Community-based Rehabilitation) centres situated in Miri. This was the first face-to-face meeting after the pandemic.
The meeting drew 11 young athletes, their parents, siblings, relatives and teachers from two PDKs who were introduced to Special Olympics and Young Athletes activities. There was also a play session where the athletes had an opportunity to take part in the activities.
Towards the end, parents were encouraged and signed up to form a Family Support Network where they could share with and learn from each other. We hope to continue the conversations on Whatsapp and organise sharing sessions on topics that the parents are interested in.
There was also be a talk on “Healthy diets for young children with ID” by Ms Koa Ai Ling, the Dietician from the Miri GH.
