Wazzup Pilipinas!
Caring for the disabled members of our society should always be a prime concern not only of the government and private corporations but also of all individuals. Most of these people were born with the disabilities, while some met an unfortunate accident. We should therefore make it a point to always give them hope that we are here to help them go through life.
Some of them emerged talented and were recognized joining talent competitions. They have exceptional skills that are worth of a second look and of discovery.
The Philippine National School for the Blind located in the city of Pasay recently got some donations from the Marriott Hotel Manila in the form of some bed linens and kitchen utitlities.
We were invited to take part in the honorable act of social responsibility for our disadvantaged brothers and sisters who are desperately needing our support and concern.
It is heart-warming to see the many smiles from the children as the staff from Marriott presented a small program participated by the talented children themselves. There were children who sang, danced and played the organ.
Portions of baked macaroni, cake slice, and juice were shared with the children. It would have been nicer if we were allowed to eat with them rather than just distribute. It is more satisfying to be able to experience sharing the feast with the children instead of partaking a sumptuous buffet back at the Marriott Hotel Manila Cafe before the event.
I've heard that they may plan to make this a yearly activity for the benefit of the school. I sure hope it will really become a much-awaited event for the school so that the children would always anticipate some sort of party for them.
More photos and videos of the event will be uploaded at the Wazzup Pilipinas Facebook fan page: https://www.facebook.com/wazzuppilipinas
