Project W.A.L.K

Remember Arnel? The first beneficiary of Project W.A.L.K (Wishes of Aid and Limbs for Kids) . PP Megs will bring him to Manila on July 12 to 14 for his follow up check up.

The Project Walk initiated between RC Kalibo and RC Forbes Park in 2008 is now being carried upon between RC Roxas and sisterclub RC Forbes from RY 2009 to present, headed by PP Megs. Arnel now goes to highschool at Monfort, New Washington, Aklan.

The 2nd beneficiary Ms. Leilanie Tello is now home in Madalag, Aklan. She is very well and is happy to get her new left prosthesis leg thru this project. Though she misses school this year, we hope that she will be inspired to go ahead and get an education - the only wealth nobody can steal from us. Like many of our beneficiaries, she came from a very impoverished family with 8 siblings in one nipa hut. We hope and wish her a good future soon.

We will also have the 4th beneficiary in line, the 5 1/2 year old - Frenz Charlz of New Buswang, Kalibo, Aklan. A fundraising to sponsor Frenz's two prosthesis leg is now in progress. We got the Missionary of Charity in Tayuman, Manila to foster him and his Mom as their residence while they will be treated at PGH, once a sponsor will be in surface.
A new matched club agreement will soon be renewed between RC Roxas and RC Forbes Park, Makati City.

Wishes of Aid and Limbs for Kids (W.A.L.K) aims to assist physically challenged children. A person's physical mobility goes beyond moving oneself from one place to another. By providing limbs to a physically handicapped person, we endeavor to propel one's confidence and self-worth towards personal growth and productivity. THIS IS OUR MISSION.
