A
center needing
holistic
intervention and
long-haul
development is exactly the direction we find our organization is heading into. The drawing power of the place to evince this kind of response can be evidenced from the reactions and the actions taken by those who have visited it. Beth Rey-Matias came with the SPC one time and saw its deep, growing needs and its receptiveness to improvement that she decided to donate her Special Education materials and her expertise (implementing Sped Program for these displaced children). Leo came with his camera and took 240 shots in quick succession before coming up with this brilliant idea of adopting a room managed by our group where we can set-up our multi-purpose programs for the foundation. This was immediately seconded by perennial seatmate, Rey Rey-Matias, who has been mulling and putting the wheel in motion to use his various positions in the medical profession and in the academe to hold regular medical missions for diagnostics and referrals. Jeff Castro, Lou Torres and I are hapless volunteers who will gladly help in whatever capacity. Wendell came with his two pretty daughters, gave their donation, and I guarantee- they shall return!
