The walk for autism 2013 was held at the zabe'el park on the 20th of April 2013 with great pomp and ceremony. Many enthusiastic children, parents, teenagers, organizations, individuals, and child care centres came to participate in this walk. The walk for autism was organized by the child early intervention centre to promote autism and to showcase the ability of the autistic children to the world. This walk was three laps around the zabe'el park arena which made up the 3km of the walk we were supposed to complete. The walk started at 5:30. Me and my brother raunak were volunteered in this walk as we wanted to help support the cause. We were overjoyed to be helping these children. We volunteered at the bouncy castle where lots of these children came to jump, play around and have fun. There was a stage with a live dj and the walk was complete with bouncy castles, ice cream vans, cold water stations and a handicraft market. On the 13th of April, we had hugs day in our school organized by 'saathi' where we played and spent time with the autistic children. Many of the children from hugs day were present in this walk as I met my partner in this walk. There was a child whose name was karthik who sang beautifully. When he was called on stage, he stunned us with his amazing voice and accurate lyrics. From this experience I learnt that everybody isn't gifted with everything, but there is some special quality in all of us. So we should treat everyone equally and accept them as friends |
