The Special Olympics World Games
Volunteering for the Special Olympics World Games
Liu Ming did not know what to expect when he volunteered for the Special Olympics World Summer Games in Shanghai, back in October 2007. Now he thinks it was the most amazing experience of his life. "It's fantastic to work as a volunteer!" he says.
The Special Olympics World Games give children and adults with intellectual disabilities a chance to show their skills to the world. They include many events similar to those in the Olympics, such as basketball, football and swimming.
Over 40,000 people gave up their spare time for the 2007 Special Olympics World Games. It was necessary for these volunteers to receive training before doing the tasks. Then they provided support for the athletes and helped make the event a great success.
"I was the swimming coach for a young boy from North China called Li hai," says Liu Ming. "He was born with intellectual disabilities. It was very brave of him to join the competition. To Li Hai, the most important thing is not to win a gold or a silver, but to take part. Li Hai tried his best and finished fourth. He feels more confident now because of the Special Olympics World Games."
The Special Olympics World Games also bring people together. Athletes and volunteers from different backgrounds feel like part of one big family. "It's great for us to work closely with these special athletes. You get to help them achieve their dreams," says Liu Ming.
