26 youths without intellectual disabilities were selected to engage in an orientation over the weekend, which was done by Special Olympics PNG. This was the first session of Batch 2 in its ‘Call for Volunteers Program. This training, which spans four Saturdays, aims to equip participants with the skills and knowledge necessary to advocate for an inclusive environment for individuals with intellectual disabilities. President Takale Tuna inaugurated the training session, extending a warm welcome to the youths and encouraging them to fully engage in the program. He emphasized the importance of gaining insights that would enhance their ability to support and advocate for inclusivity. A notable addition to the training was a session on basic sign language, led by Jenny Sike, Senior Inclusive Teacher at the Red Cross. This component is particularly vital, as some athletes with multiple disabilities are also deaf. Special Olympics PNG is committed to ensuring that volunteers can communicate effectively with all participants, enhancing their experience during activities throughout the year. The training will continue for the next three Saturdays, with an additional 24 youths with intellectual disabilities set to join the initial group of 26 participants. The Call for Volunteers program is designed to engage and train individuals who will assist Special Olympics PNG in various roles, including event organization, coaching, and fostering an inclusive atmosphere for all athletes. Special Olympics PNG expresses its sincere gratitude to Special Olympics Asia Pacific and His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan of the United Arab Emirates for their support in making this training possible.
