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.
