Everyone deserves to be treated right- normal or not. When I was young, I secretly laugh if I see a person with abnormality. I still don't know that time why they are like that. But as I grow up, I learned that some individuals with disabilities need love, care, and support not only from their families and relatives but also from the people around them. I've learned to appreciate and understand them with the help of my teachers in Psychology back when I was in college.
Ten years ago, Dolores Cheng formed The Center for Possibilities Foundation (CFP). “It was my own coming to terms with the condition of my son,” she shares. Andreas, now 22, was diagnosed with Global Developmental Delay when he was 3 years old. “There were no support groups for his particular type of disability, I didn’t know where to go, who to see, where to find what I needed to know. I wanted to understand what it meant to raise a child with special needs. So I thought that maybe if I formed a group of my own, I would be able to ring a call to other people who might be in the same boat and need some help,” Dolores continues.
