Olympics treat for special children
Islands Souvenirs, a subsidiary of the Islands Group of Companies, and Quota International of Metro Cebu (QIMC) partnered in its drive to promote equality and understanding of children with disability.
QIMC tied up with Islands Souvenirs to stage the Olympics for the special children carrying the theme, “Continuing to move beyond the challenge” as part of the Disability Month celebration held at the San Nicolas multi-purpose hall on July 28.
QIMC president Cheryl Arnan-Ligutom said “We continue to aim towards our objective to let the children develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage and experience joy and sharing.
We are likewise hoping that this event will promote a better understanding of the children with disability in an environment of equality, respect and acceptance in the community.”
“Partnering with Islands Souvenirs is significant because of its catchy statement on ‘I heart,’ which expresses our feelings — Quota International of Metro Cebu hearts SPED kids.”
Quota International of Metro Cebu and Islands Souvenirs believe in the importance of accepting SPED children and disadvantaged women in the society, understanding their limitations and supporting their needs.
It was the third SPED Olympics, aimed at harnessing love for life through sports despite physical limitations.
The third Special Education (SPED) Olympics was participated in by six SPED public schools in Cebu City, namely, Zapatera, Barrio Luz, San Nicolas, Labangon, Bulacao and Don Vicente Rama SPED Center.
