Special Delivery

Episode Synopsis

In this episode, our Special Delivery Host Carla D travels to Bangkok to meet an extraordinary father-son pair. Walter and his boy Zy have scaled peaks like Mt Kilimanjaro, Gunung Kinabalu, Fuji-san and more. What’s so unusual about them is that Zy is physically disabled and they are the heart and soul of “Climb to Change a Life”. By organising climbs, they are empowering and inspiring parents and special needs children in South-east Asia to transcend the emotional and mental boundaries drawn by physical limitations and societal prejudice. The aim is singularly simple, yet profound – that these children are not disabled, but differently abled. Carla volunteers in a group climb up a peak in the scenic Nature Reserve of HuaHin. It will entail carrying a child up to the summit of a craggy hill and delivering her safely down to her parents. It is a delivery that will place physical demands, but more importantly, entail an emotional inner journey on the part of Carla.
