Dear Mr. Tan
Proposal of playground suggestions
Tampines has been a great living environment for people to live and play in. Under your expert leadership and management, the environment of Tampines has improved greatly. Recently, I was involved in a project to help build a playground for children with disabilities. My group was selected to build a playground for children with the down’s syndrome. As you can see, none of the playgrounds in Tampines cater to the needs of the kids with down’s syndrome. The playgrounds in the neighbourhood are mostly for normal children with no disabilities at all. The children with down’s syndrome would not have a place to have fun and relax. In order to let the children with down’s syndrome have fun, our group decided to build a playground for the children with the down’s syndrome.
The playground that my group built for the kids with the down’s syndrome consists of 3 levels. We planned it carefully so as to meet the basic needs for the kids with down’s syndrome. We also listed the disabilities of the kids with down’s syndrome and thought of the solution to it so that the parents of the kids with down’s and the kids themselves syndrome can rest assured that the play ground is safe to play in.
I feel that we have to consider all the needs of all kinds of people with all kinds of disabilities in this society so that they will feel that they are treated as the same as people with no disabilities.
Yours Sincerely,
Wynner
