Grade 2

Disabilities VS Differently Able

by Ibu Yuliany

We are all familiar with the term “People with disabilities.” However, perhaps we should consider changing the term to “People with different abilities.” We believe that God created all of us in His image, and we are all special in His eyes. David also said in Psalm 134:13-14, “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.”

Grade 2 students have learned about people with different abilities these two months. The students learned about some famous people with different abilities who overcame their challenges. They also learned about all the various accommodations and how they should treat differently-abled people with love and care while treating them equally.

For their Mission Service Learning, on November 8, Grade 2 students went to Sekolah Sang Timur, a school serving students with special needs. The Grade 2 students could build a relationship with the students in Sekolah Sang Timur and see how they learned differently. They show love, care, and compassion by playing and making crafts together. We pray that this relationship will help our students to have love and compassion and, more importantly, grow in Christ.
