𝗣𝗪𝗗 𝗦𝗨𝗣𝗣𝗢𝗥𝗧 | Sa bawat pamilya, mahalaga ang pagkakaroon ng pagkakakitaan, lalo na sa mga sitwasyong may dagdag na hamon gaya ng pagkakaroon ng kapansanan. Kaya naman patuloy tayong naghahanap ng mga paraang makatutulong sa mga PWD at sa kanilang mga mahal sa buhay na makabangon, makasabay, at magkaroon ng sariling kabuhayan.

Ngayong umaga, isinagawa ng Odiongan Persons with Disability Affairs Office (PDAO) ang Production of Herbal Massage Oil Livelihood Project. Layunin nitong bigyan ng alternatibong pagkakakitaan ang mga PWD at kanilang pamilya.

Pinangunahan ni Sister Alma I. Mangao, demo farm consultant mula sa Caritas Manila, ang hands-on na training para sa paggawa ng herbal massage oil. Nagbigay naman ng mensahe si Sir Jun Fiedacan bilang kinatawan ni Mayor Trina, at hinikayat ang grupo na magtulungan at mag-organisa para sa mas matatag na kinabukasan.

Dumalo rin si G. Rolando C. Forca, tagapayo ng PDAO, upang magbigay-suporta at gabay sa mga kalahok.

Maliit man ang simula, malaki ang puwedeng marating basta sama-sama.

"Taos-pusong pasasalamat sa CereCare Philippines Foundation sa pangunguna ng Presidente nito na si Bb. Lily Tanco sa kanilang kamakailang programa sa Romblon! Noong Abril 26-28, 2024, matagumpay nilang naipamahagi ang mga puting tungkod sa ilang mga bulag mula sa pitong bayan ng ating probinsya.

Nagturo din si Bb. Tanco nang tamang paggamit ng White Cane sa mga nabigyan.

Sinamantala nya din po ang pagkakataon na makausap ang ating mga magulang at makita ang mga bata na may kapansanan na members ng CPDACMO

Ang inyong malasakit at suporta ay tunay na nakapagbigay ng pag-asa at nagpahusay sa buhay ng ating mga kababayan. Maraming salamat sa inyong dedikasyon sa pagtulong sa mga nangangailangan!
