Butterflies of Singapore

The Büffel Art Project is a charity art event organized by Braun Büffel of Germany and participated in by Maya Gallery of Singapore. The proceeds from the event will benefit “Very Special Arts Singapore”.

I am privileged to know a wonderful and intelligent young man who was a special needs child.  After attending a Waldorf forest Kindergarten in Germany he excelled in a special needs school until grade 10. He has three siblings without special needs and they were all treated equally. He and his twin brother are my son`s best friends and I closely observed his transformation.

As a teenager he rode an extremely large tri-cycle.  He took his brother`s two wheeler and practiced riding it.  I saw him fall again and again.  Finally he could ride a normal bicycle. In grade 11 he changed to a normal school.  After graduating he spent a year in Australia as an Au- Pair in a family responsible for four children. He traveled alone throughout Asia and is currently applying for apprenticeships in Europe and Asia.

I am sure he will succeed!
