Lucy and Shaun are fantastic SOSUNS Ambassadors

Lucy and Shaun recently represented SOSUNS at William Clarke College, Kellyville.  They both approached the dauting task of getting up in front of three groups of Year 7 students to talk about Special Olympics with courage and enthusiasm.

The students were transfixed as they learnt what Special Olympics was and how it had changed the lives of Lucy, Shaun and many others with an intellectual disability.  Lucy and Shaun also suggested ways that the students might volunteer for Special Olympics themselves.  This included attending sports as volunteer coaches, helping at specific events and fundraising.

Giving their speeches three times was a fantastic opportunity for Lucy and Shaun as their confidence increased with each speech.  Shaun’s voice became more and more expressive while Lucy even started ad libbing a few jokes.

The students were very enthusiastic about the opportunities available to volunteer within SOSUNS.
