Having now freed up 12-15 hours of weekly training for a couple of weeks, I have more time to think. I have spent the morning first meeting other parents (well 99% mums) at the coffee morning organised at Thomas's school for new parents and then at the Singapore Association for the visually handicapped where I have presented a small project. These two worlds could not be any more different. They are only meters apart as Thomas' school is a stone's throw away from the SAVH, but in reality there are zillion miles apart.
Some have short term concerns: what are they going to do this afternoon: tennis or hairdresser? Massage or coffee with friends? Some others have not got such important decisions to make. They may not worry about the afternoon because all the afternoons are the same. Unless some volunteers (not me- or not yet) are willing to brighten their world.
I don't care about knowing what are the best coffee shops in Singapore. I care about knowing what's happening within the SAVH.
