Kim Kyung Won Poet



안녕하세요, 시소클럽입니다. 근래에 시각장애인 관련 글들을 찾아보던 와중에, 사회공헌협회가 진행하는 와이낫 캠패인에대해서 알게됬어요. 와이낫 캠페인은 예술 분야에서 활동하는 장애인들을 더 알리는 목적에서 각 분야의 예술장애인들을 소개해주는 캠페인입니다. 이중에서 시각장애인 시인이신 김경원님이 포스팅 되었어요. 앞으로도 이런 장애인들애대한 인식이 올라갈수있는 이벤트가 많이 생겨났으면 합니다.

Showdown Volunteer 5/25

I woke up and started packing my things for another exciting day, the Showdown competition! Showdown is a fast-paced sport played on a specially built table that can be enjoyed by people of all ages and skill levels. The game aims to hit the ball off the side wall, across the table, beneath the center screen, and into the opponent's goal.  When I went to where the 8th Will-Cup was held, the participants were preparing for their 9 - 10 hour competition. The atmosphere was thrilling, filled with hope and enthusiasm.

When they refused for help, rather than thinking rudely, it was just an experie...

Observing the young athletes' passion for their sport was highly inspiring. Beyond my assigned duties, I extended help to other athletes in the hallways and eventually took on the role of scorekeeper for a couple of games. Having previously played the sport myself, I was particularly impressed by the athletes' skills.

A standout memory from this experience was a conversation I had with an athlete during his break. He shared details about the range of sports he plays as well as his upcoming competitions, giving me a glimpse into his impressive ath...

An Unforgettable Art Experience

Image
  This past weekend, members of SeeSaw gathered together with visually impaired individuals to experience collaborating and learning art together. We learned the flat knot technique and applied it to create phone bracelets and worry dolls, where we could vent out all of our struggles and feel relieved. Throughout the experience, I both learned the technique and aided the visually impaired in feeling the knots and finding the sensory techniques to tie the knots themselves. I saw that they thoroughly enjoyed the experience and were delighted the entire time; one of the people even stated that they had stayed up all night for the experience! Ultimately, it was a fun experience where I bonded with numerous individuals and I felt accomplished at succeeding to collaborate with those who need our help.
