An SPD participant all ready to go

Organised by SPD’s Day Activity Centre, the Inter DAC Sports Day was held on 15 May at the Nanyang Polytechnic Indoor Sports Hall with NCSS’ Deputy CEO Ms Tina Hung as the Guest-of-Honour.

SPD was joined by eight other day activity centres from around the island, namely the Christian Outreach to the Handicapped (COH) Tampines and Toa Payoh, Metta Welfare Association, Movement for the Intellectually Disabled of Singapore (MINDS) Tampines, SUN-DAC Choa Chu Kang and Bedok as well as the Cerebral Palsy Alliance Singapore (CPAS).

The ‘mini-paralympics’ brought together more than 350 attendees including 150 participants with disabilities who competed in popular but modified sports such as discus-throwing, hockey and track events, as well as an unconventional donut-eating relay race! Participants also gamely took part in the best mascot and best cheer competitions.
