On May 17th, we at VT SEVA Cary Volunteers participated in Miracle League as buddies where we supported special needs kids such as kids with autism to play baseball. We helped the kids to run around the baseball diamond and also helped them catch the ball in the 2 separate games we participated in. Baseball can encourage them to communicate and also helps with their motor skills. While helping the kids, we understood how determined they were and how involved they were to participate and play in the game and not let their team down. This unique experience helped me understand the kids with special needs and how wonderful these kids were. We would definitely want to participate in such opportunities again.
