On Friday, December 11th, YK Pao Secondary School hosted its first event with Special Olympics, a non-profit organization committed to providing athletic opportunities to people who are challenged with intellectual disabilities.
This day consisted of a morning unified sports session where our students led activities for special athletes from Shanghai along with secondary school educational leaders from around China.
In the afternoon, the Special Olympics hosted a conference on our campus to promote the organization in China. The morning event was organised, managed, and led by Pao School's student volunteers.
This event was a tremendous success and a meaningful experience for everyone involved.
We expect this to be the start of a long-term relationship and hope to open the doors for more opportunities to get involved in semester two of this year. Congratulations and thanks to all who were involved!
