Our Kalinga Center kids from the Pre-Vocational Program, together with our Vocational Officer Ms. Marissa, proudly participated in the Lutong Santa Maria: Traditional Cooking Challenge. 👩‍🍳✨

This activity allowed them to gain hands-on experience, build confidence, and further develop their practical cooking skills while working as a team. 💛

We are so proud of their dedication and willingness to learn! 🌟

We would also like to thank the Municipality of Santa Maria & Santa Maria Bulacan Tourism and Cultural Affairs Office for the opportunity.

Teacher Jeff, our senior occupational therapist, joined the World Federation of Occupational Therapists (WFOT) Congress last February 09-12, 2026, in Bangkok, Thailand. He attended the congress together with more than 2000 occupational therapists and delegates around the world. This participation aimed not only for continuing professional education but also to improve client care and service delivery that is globally competent yet locally responsive. He also submitted his ePoster entitled "Contextualizing occupational therapy evaluation and interventions: Content analyses of home environment assessments of children with developmental disabilities in a rural area in Bulacan, Philippines" and highlighted the importance of home assessments in ensuring alignment between evaluation, interventions, and recommendations.

Ang National Council on Disability Affairs (NCDA) ay inaanyayahan ang buong bansa sa paggunita ng 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐖𝐞𝐞𝐤 alinsunod sa Proklamasyon Blg. 1385, s. 1975. 💙
Ngayong taon, tampok ang temang:

“Ginintuang Ani ng Pag-ibig Tungo sa Matagumpay at Tunay na Inklusyon.”

Ipinapaalala ng temang ito na ang inklusyon ay hindi basta adhikain—ito ay bunga ng tuloy-tuloy na malasakit, tamang suporta, at sama-samang pagkilos. Ang “ginintuang ani” ay sumisimbolo sa tagumpay na nakakamit kapag ang mga batang may intellectual disability ay nabibigyan ng maagang interbensyon, inklusibong edukasyon, at pantay na oportunidad sa komunidad.

Hinihikayat ng NCDA ang mga lokal na pamahalaan, paaralan, institusyon, at pamilya na higit pang palakasin ang maagang interbensyon, inklusibong edukasyon, at komprehensibong suporta. Ang tunay na inklusyon ay hindi lamang pagdiriwang tuwing may paggunita—ito ay konkretong aksyon, patas na oportunidad, at paggalang sa karapatang pantao at sa kapansanan araw-araw.

🔗 Maaaring i-access ang opisyal na poster design dito: https://bit.ly/NIDW2026

Sa pagdiriwang na ito, sama-sama nating igiit: ang bawat bata ay may kakayahang matuto, umunlad, at mangarap—kung bibigyan ng tamang suporta at pagkakataon. 🌟
