Walk and Work Foundation celebrated Children’s Month at the center last November 15, 2025, together with 20 Children and Youth with Disabilities, their parents, and the foundation staff.
The day started with registration at 7:00 AM, followed by the program proper at 8:00 AM, which opened with a prayer. Afterwards, the staff of Walk and Work Foundation introduced themselves one by one so the children and parents could become familiar with them. Manager Ms. Lyn also welcomed everyone and thanked them for attending despite the bad weather.
At 8:30 AM, the discussions began.
The first topic, OSAEC (Online Sexual Abuse and Exploitation of Children), was presented by the Social Workers. After the session, the children were asked to share their learnings and takeaways.
The second topic focused on Mental Health Awareness, discussed by Ma’am Grace Alonday Agustin, Disability Affairs Assistant from the Alimodian LGU. Both topics were timely, relevant, and very important given today’s generation and current situations.
After the talks, a Poster Making Contest followed. The 20 participants were asked to count off from 1 to 4 to form four groups. Criteria for judging were thoroughly explained, and the contest theme centered on OSAEC. Each group was given 30 minutes to create their poster, guided by the following criteria:
• Creativity – 40%
• Relevance to the Theme – 30%
• Visual Impact and Presentation – 30%
Once the time was up, each group presented their work and judging commenced. Rankings were from 1st to 4th place, and all groups received prizes. After announcing the winners, each child received 5 kilos of rice as a token of appreciation. Lunch and snacks were also served to the children and their parents.
The vent concluded at 12:00 NN, with everyone going home happy, carrying new learning and a deeper appreciation of the topics discussed.
