Special Needs

More than just a concert, Unveiling Uniqueness 2 is a movement — a showcase of resilience and artistry that brings performers with disabilities and celebrated stars onto one stage of inclusion and inspiration

If you add comedy, good food, and autism, what do you get? A big heart. And that's what the celebrity comedian cum foodpreneur, Nigel Ng aka Uncle Roger, presented today when he hosted the the Autism Cafe Project community to a Fuiyoh! lunch in conjunction with Hari Raya and World Autism Awareness and Acceptance Month.

In a world where corporates pay lip service when it comes to community development, it is heartening to note that there are still organisations that walk the talk. RYTHM Foundation is apparently one of them.

When I was assigned to cover a concert for special needs performers, I was wondering if its going to be one of those events where I would end up feeling sorry for the participants knowing how empathetic I can be. I never thought that Unveiling Uniqueness was going to be an event that has set the bar so high for concerts throughout the country - whether it is by special needs talents, or those who are neurotypical.
