This year, I will be celebrating my birthday in a very different perspective. I, together with three of my friends will be spending an afternoon with special children. For this occasion, we will be supporting The Rehabilitation and Empowerment of Adults and Children with Handicap (R.E.A.C.H), a non-stock non-profit organization based in Mandaluyong.
This organization caters to special children ages 0 - 18 years old with special needs where they are given free therapy, special education classes and other related services needed by these kids with disability. This center has 96 kids with 70 kids active in their therapy and rehabiilitation.
Since this is a non-profit organization and it is in partnership with the local government unit of Mandaluyong, any help or attention given to them will be very much appreciated.
We will be celebrating mass, eat with the children, play games with them, give gifts and of course, what is a party without a clown or a magician! We will also be inviting one (courtesy of Councilor Chie Canlas, gift na raw nya sakin. =) ) for the kids to enjoy and also for those young at heart. Tentative date for this cause is September 20 or 21, 2008.
In line with this, I am also thinking of raising money so these kids can continously receive their much needed rehabilitation and therapy. I am not thinking of big amount. I'm sure with whatever amount that we will raise, will be very much appreciated by these children.
I am calling out to all our friends and family to please support our cause. We believe in these children. We believe each child deserves a future and should not be hindered by their disabilities.
For more info or inquiries, just send me a message. Thank you very much.
