PBSNS Year End Party
It has become a tradition of PBSNS to hold a year end party for the trainees to celebrate the closing of a good year. Today, December 15, 25 out of 28 trainees together with many parents, caregivers, staff, volunteers, committee members and donors came together for a simple time of fun and lunch. A group of youths from the D'Nous Academy which has made it their community service for many years came here to help the trainees have fun with songs and dances.
We thank all those who have helped with organizing the event, especially the donors and preparers of food, drinks, fruits and other refreshments, as well as putting up the Christmas tree and year end decorations. It was indeed a multi-racial event as we came together to give support to a worthy cause of helping our kids with learning disabilities experience the joy of celebrating as a community.

what we can do for them. She announced that PBSNS is proud to have placed two more trainees in
open employment.

As we celebrate
PBSNS Sunday, Patricia Koh,
Parent/Volunteer has this inspiring story by Jim Stovall to offer to the
parents of special children as they struggle to help their children to reach
their fullest potential. Her prayer is that it will help parents counter any
negative thoughts and obstacles that come along their paths that may present
them with little hope or encouragement.
There were two warring tribes in the Andes, one that
lived in the lowlands and the other high in the mountains. The mountain people
invaded the lowlanders one day, and as part of their plundering of the people,
they kidnapped a baby of one of the lowlander families and took the infant with
them back up into the mountains.
The lowlanders didn’t know how to climb the mountain.
They didn’t know any of the trails that the mountain
people used, and they didn’t know where to find the mountain people or how to
track them in the steep terrain.
Even so, they sent out their best party of fighting
men to climb the mountain and bring the baby home.
The men tried first one method of climbing and then
another. They tried one trail and then another. After several days of effort,
however, they had climbed only several hundred feet.
Feeling hopeless and helpless, the lowlander men
decided that the cause was lost, and they prepared to return to their village
below.
As they were packing their gear for the descent, they
saw the baby’s mother walking towards them. They realized that she was coming
DOWN the mountain that they hadn’t figured out how to climb.
And then they saw that she had the baby strapped to
her back. HOW COULD THAT BE?
One man greeted her and said, “We couldn’t climb this
mountain. How did you do this when we, the strongest and most able men in the
village couldn’t do it?”
She shrugged her shoulders and said, “It wasn’t your
baby.”
This story symbolizes so much that is important. Yes,
there are dedicated people working with our children, providing marvelous
support and help for them. But parents, we have to blaze the trail. The path we
travel may be lonely and challenging and the journey long and tiring, but we
are not alone. The awesome voice of God echoes from the mountain “….never will
I leave you, never will I forsake you” (Hebrews 13:5) “God is our refuge and
strength, an ever-present help in trouble” (Psalms 46:1)
