Best Buddies Pot-Luck Gathering

On the 30th of December 2008, Best Buddies had organized a Pot-Luck Gathering to celebrate the beginning of the new relationship with the buddies and their parents as well. We are now one step closer, narrowing the gap between each other and strengthen the bond in between. The reason we had this gathering is to bring everyone together, to let us know more about the parents and our friends with ( the buddies ) learning disabilities.

As time passed, members and the guests were arriving and soon filled up the seats in the room which was nicely decorated and highlighted with a Christmas tree. The chairs were arranged in a party way, where we had plenty of space in the middle to move around and for game time. Our first guest had brought us fried rice and some brought along cakes and jelly. Without wasting our time and since everyone were waiting eagerly for the dinner time, our Best Buddies advisor had a few words welcoming the guests, talking about the objectives of this gathering, then she announced that dinner is ready and the guests were invited and enjoy their meals. Everyone was savouring the sumptuous food prepared by almost all of us, we were spoilt with a wide variety of food like fried rice, spagetti, mash potato, nuggets, sushi, salad, jelly, agar-agar, and cakes.

Needless to say, everyone was enjoying their meal and had a great time chit-chatting as well.
Later, we proceed to the game session after resting for a while after our dinner. There were a few creative games which brought us all laughing, running and dancing around, talked to each other. This was indeed a good way to bring us all together, definitely breaking the ice and we were like one big family having fun time.

They really made an effort to contribute something and they are very much appreaciated. They had made a difference in our life since the day they decided to attend our first event until now, they support Best Buddies physically as well as morally. Let spread our love and continue this priceless relationship called - - FRIENDSHIP ..
Thank you very much, sincerely from our heart...

Let the feast begin !!!

We are one big family....

A tribute to Best Buddies Disability Awareness Workshop 2008

I found some of this pictures in my back-up discs and thought of making this video to commemorate our very first event organized in UCSI University. A lot of work and dedication were build upon the commencement of this event as it got the ball rolling for Best Buddies in UCSI Univeristy as well as Malaysia.

Thank you again to all that are in support of Best Buddies. May we continue to grow and learn together.

Cheers,

Nitia
