We thought that when we came here, we could see the children's world by "squatting down", but when we squatted down, we found that the eyes of these slow-flying children were looking forward to showing us the colorful world outside ...

In many corners of Taiwan Province, there are a group of children with slow development. They are "Slow Flying Angels", which are destined to be harder than other children from birth. Maybe some parents are reluctant to see their children suffer, so they choose different paths for their children. But if we can, let's accompany this group of angels, hold their little hands, be their little feet and move forward bravely.

-6 years old is the best time for children with mental retardation. In the Eden Foundation's Service Plan for Vulnerable Children, early education is an integration for children with mental retardation and their parents, including early medical treatment, rehabilitation, special education, nursery, family support services and various welfare measures. Through these assistance, helping children to move towards the future growth path has become a ray of light in their lives. "understanding the slow development"

Yun Yun, a six-year-old girl, loves to laugh and coquetry. When we first met, Yun Yun opened her hands and hugged us, completely unaware of the severe multiple obstacles.

Xiaoyun has been unable to walk since she was a child, and she has no oral expression skills. She received early education services from Eden Foundation six months ago. Although the learning process was full of hardships and stumbling, Xiaoyun, who is optimistic, always kept working hard. Although she occasionally refused to give her a hug, she would set out bravely again. Now, she can use a walker except when she is tired.

These slow-flying angels need endurance, perseverance and hard work for every small step they take. They grasp every minute of continuous rehabilitation, often fall down crying and stand up with a smile, just to catch up with the road of growth.

In the process, although teachers and parents can't bear it, they can only let go and use "love" to protect these slow-flying angels and become their strong backing, accompanying them to hope. In this way, these little angels are no longer just looking forward to going to the outside world, but embracing the world with love.

Wei Wei is promoted to Grade One this year. She has a pair of big round eyes and a pair of fingers that are thin and soft like practicing the piano. Wei Wei was born without voice. After a series of tests, he was diagnosed as a rare disease with chromosome abnormality, the "rare cat crying syndrome".

Wei Wei, who is about to be promoted to Grade One this summer, touched the bracelet on my hand for the first time when we met. The teacher said that she loved rubber bands very much, because rubber bands made her feel safe, so Wei Wei started to play with the bracelet on my hand, and then slowly took my hand. After a whole day of getting along, there was no sound at all, just holding my hand.

because of chromosome abnormality, Wei Wei's heart and brain are underdeveloped, so he can't make sound, and because of difficulty in swallowing, he must use nasogastric tube to eat. After more than four years of Eden's home-care service, limb rehabilitation and stretching, and swallowing ability training, Wei Yi no longer relied on nasogastric tubes in her early years, and successfully entered the day-care class of Keelung Early Treatment Center.

Wei Wei has only been able to lie on the teacher's back in class, and now he can walk on his own feet, and his self-care ability such as drinking water, brushing his teeth and collecting things is not a problem, and even his cognitive ability has been greatly improved.

This summer, Wei Wei will soon return to the first grade in Yilan to bid farewell to the medical education here. In the process, he took the teachers who were Wei Wei. As long as he mentioned the key words, his eyes naturally burst into tears, and Wei Wei still lay coquetry on the teachers. This is the true feelings of the family ~

Seeing this scene, the slow flying angel was accompanied by a group of professional and enthusiastic teachers, thinking of a paragraph in Faye Wong's "Spinning Wood":

I'm a merry-go-round in this paradise, just to satisfy my children's dreams. I climb on my back and take you to soar.

I forgot the sadness that I can only run in situ, and I also forgot that I am locked forever.

No matter how long I can accompany you, at least I can make you fantasize about flying with me.

The Mercedes-Benz Trojan will make you forget your injuries, and in this paradise for laughter.

When you see a child fixed on a wooden chair, you really can't help frowning ... but! This is the throne to help slow-flying angels. Because they are different from the angels in dolphin class and koala class, their wings have not been opened yet, and they are unable to support their bodies. They must rely on these auxiliary chairs to make them sit and stand, so as to train and strengthen their muscles. But ..... how many years ~ no one knows.

Haoyu is in the best condition in the koala class. By good condition, I mean: he has the ability to move ~ he can crawl. He, with a low laugh point, is the pistachio in the class.

I don't know how much effort and sweat (even tears) it takes to stand like Haoyu, but Haoyu, who has been very happy, has made us feel the tenacity of vitality.

Sandy, a very white and beautiful little girl, is supposed to be an age full of princess dreams, but now she doesn't even have the strength to hold her head up, and she inadvertently knows that she has a sour life experience when chatting with her teacher. If I wasn't afraid of scaring her, I really wanted to give her a hard hug.

Here, just like ordinary kindergarten children, they not only train their muscle endurance, but also learn the rules of life, adjust their biological clocks, go to the toilet regularly, and learn to flush, wash their hands, wipe their hands and turn off the lights. Even if they can't, even if you teach them nothing, the teachers here are tireless and repeat it over and over again. I really admire this group of enthusiastic and patient special education teachers here.

The seemingly simple action of rolling dice is a laborious action for them.

At lunch time, all the other little angels need to be fed, except Yuyu, who can eat by herself. It's hard to imagine that there are only two teachers at ordinary times and so many need to be fed at the same time.

When feeding Sandy for dinner, I feel that she is just like a child at home. If she doesn't like to eat, she will lose her temper and look at her face. Every child has his own personality. They are really no different, but their growth is more difficult than ordinary children. Treating them requires empathy and patience. If ... you see such children and families outside, please give them a lot of encouragement.

Every child here has a pair of fixed shoes to support their small bodies and help thin legs put on and off, and their hearts are full of mixed feelings.

In the course of class, teachers are full of energy, facing a group of children who can't respond to them, and they are in a state of asking themselves and answering questions most of the time, but they can teach their children with the high-pitched cheerful voice of the host of the children's channel all day. These children really need a lot of sensory * * *, and I really admire and admire the endless enthusiasm and vitality of the teachers.

Children are children, and their nature of playing will not change. Watching Haoyu play round after round, the happy expression makes us want to try XD.

Haoyu is like a "hope" for us. His cheerful laughter sweeps away the dark clouds in our hearts when we step into the koala class, and his hard performance wipes away the tears we can't help. Only when I get there do I know that it is not them, but us who are helped.

We are very excited and happy that we can't get in touch with the outside world and people often. It is a positive * * * and encouragement to feel that people are different from the past. In other words, Sandy and Haoyu performed very well that day ~

We sincerely invite you to join us in responding to the Eden Foundation's "Service Plan for Disadvantaged Children" and participating in volunteer service, so that love and care can continue to spread.
