Life Haven Visits Tahanang Walang Hagdanan After Typhoon Ondoy
Tahanang Walang Hagdanan in Cainta, Rizal is one of the many establishments damage by typhoon Ondoy. Like every other victim, TWH was damaged physically. The residences, work area, machines, tools, and materials for livelihood were all damaged. Life Haven did our own share of extending assistance to Tahanang Walang Hagdanan.
On October 1, 2009 Life Haven visited TWH and brought along personnel to assist with the checking of electrical lines and machines. We also brought goods to supplement their everyday needs and a medical team for their health concerns.
Like all other victims also, the ravages of typhoon Ondoy left emotional and psychological trauma to the residents of Tahanang Walang Hagdanan majority of whom are persons with disabilities. The Bayanihan spirit from and a visit by other persons with disabilities lifted their spirits.
We would like to extend our gratitude to all those who contributed to the success of this visit. ( Liza Aviso and family; Eric Dy's family and friends; friends of Joon Baltazar; Karla Henson and Ramos family; Abner Manlapaz and family; and all others)

July 11-12 Valenzuela IL workshop
On July 11-12 we held a two-day Independent Living workshop in Valenzuela City. The resource persons were Abner Manlapaz and Jun Bernandino. We have five participants:
Teody Auxilian from Karuhatan; May-ann Dao from Ugong; Erick Dy from Arty Subdivision; Karla Henson from Fortune 5; and Sophia Manlapaz from Fortune Village 2.
Teody has spinal cord injury C-5 level for around 10 years now. It was due to a vehicular accident, the bus he is in was rammed by a train.
May-ann has tri-polio affecting the lower extremities and one of her arms.
Erick also has spinal cord injury C-5 C-6 level. He was shot when he was robbed. He is entertaining the idea that it was a case of mistaken identity. The robbers thought he was carrying money in the paper bag which really contains pancit canton.
Karla is visually impaired due to macular degeneration .
Sophia is the wife of Abner. She has polio that affected both of her lower extremities. Sophia and Abner have two daughters, Alexa and Anne.
It was a successful workshop. Thanks to Ate Lon (sister of Teody) and Mama (mother of Karla) for hosting and providing the sumptous food. Thanks also to the PA's who assisted.

"Live Free" Fundraising Concert--A Success
"Live Free" Fundraising Concert-- A Success
The "Live Free" fundraising concert held on May 30, 2009 at Crossroad 77 was a considerable success. The "Live Free" fundraising concert aimed to raise fund to assure continuous provision of services for persons with disabilities. This concert was brought to you by Life Haven Inc. in cooperation with APD-SR.
Despite the heavy rain and traffic the spirit of the performers and all those who attended was not at any point dampened. The concert was opened by the sparkle band with an emotional rendition of the song "High". The sparkle band is composed of children with autism. The concert was in no way a competition for the performers yet every number was presented as if everyone was shooting for a million. The beautiful Gate performance Art Troupe had a very interesting performance punctuated with a drama that hushed everyone. The ballroom dancers of Tahanang Walang Hagdanan presented upbeat numbers of chacha and jive. The Rondalla On Wheels of Bahay Mapagmahal played a soothing piece of medley.
Juan Pablo Dream and Good Morning High 5's, the two mainstream bands which played in the "Live Free" concert, took the stage and did their thing with gusto. This wrapped up the night of entertainment, enlightenment, and awareness campaign.
An incidental fruit of the promotional efforts for the concert is worth mentioning here. Our media partners became interested not solely for the promotion of plugging of the concert but also about the sector of the persons with disabilities and Life Haven, Inc., in particular. ABS-CBN, GMA-7 and UNTV presented the talents of the performers, made interviews of the persons involved, and mentioned the services provided by an IL center (i.e. Life Haven).
Thanks to all sponsors and supporters.
Watch out for "Live Free 2"!

TWH takes pride in continuing this project for our beneficiaries through an established programs-Wheelchair Dance Program of TWHI. It gives healing and therapy, as well as, develops capabilities, making the most of what is left for PWD's. Their ability for dance is promising as our dancers are being prepared for further training for local and international competitions.
