Volunteer @ Kindred Nomad’s Activity in Camotes, Cebu

 

It could have been just another Friday but it wasn’t. Early in the morning, volunteers of The Kindred Nomads and representatives of No Colors, a Japan based organization, gathered at the Quest Hotel, in Cebu City, Philippines, getting ready for the gift giving activity at San Francisco SPED Center in San Francisco, Camotes. 2 vans left for Danao port at around 4 am carrying fifteen volunteers, gifts and essential vitamins for 68 Special Kids.

It was my 2nd outreach of the year. I wasn’t supposed to go ’cause I have an event at dinner. Despite Boyfie’s million reminders, I followed my heart. So happy that I did. 🙂

The kids were diagnosed with multiple disabilities, visual/hearing impairment, polio, autism, cerebral palsy and dysphasia because of malnutrition. Vitamins were distributed to the kids, and the parents were given instructions about the dosage to be given to their kids. No Colors brought all the donation they have collected in Japan.
