Volunteer, Ms Chan Fa Wan

Visually impaired with multiple disabilities are able to be a clown

Fa Wan is the volunteer of Morning Glory DAC cum Hostel, she has been our volunteer for over 15 years, she also established the “Happy Clown” in 2007. “The Happy Clown changed my view to the visually impaired with multiple disabilities. Each team member has their own potential, some with music talent, some with passion hearts, some are patient. I found their ability and persistence, they also desired for the best.” Fa Wan said.

Magic performance is kind of visual arts, when the team members learnt how to play magic, they failed many times, but they kept practicing until they satisfied with their own performance. Fa Wan will teach the team members how to play magic depending on their ability, she was happy when interacting with the team members and it was unexpected but it was the motivation to serve.
