Case Study: Lamoreux Support Service

405 Words2 Pages

In my Christian Service Project I choose Lamoreux Support Service because I want to learn how to take care of person with disabilities. At first I thought it will gonna be hard,but it seems that I was wrong because it’s not that hard. From my experience volunteering in this organization, I learned that being a disabled person is hard, but not all people with disabilities can’t do anything. Some people with disability can do puzzles, eat in their own, they can draw, colour, and do other things.

I choose to complete this task at Lamoreux Support Service because it is only one of the ways I can think to go to finish my Christian Service Project. Volunteering in this organization is actually fun. I played puzzle with Charmaine.

In her words, she says “people don’t generally expect much of a cripple’s character” and describes the difficulty of helping in normal charitable activities (such as serving at a soup kitchen). Mairs is realistic about her ability to contribute to certain charitable activities—she cannot chop vegetables or scrub dishes. If a life of service is a Christian calling, like the church affirms, how can we expand our idea of what “service” is so that all people can engage with it? What ways can those with disabilities provide care for non-disabled people, so that the direction does not strictly flow
