Free Dental/Medical Services
To Special Children
Do you remember last year (2011), through Koolearth, Inc. when we initiated the giving of free Dental & Medical services to the handicapped children of Stimulation and Therapeutic Activity Center (STAC) in Aklan with 130 beneficiaries? It proved to be very successful because of the partnership with the Philippine Police Academy Alumni Association (PNPAAA), Inc. with then Police Director Cornello T. Defensor and Gen. Clarence V. Guinto of HR Affairs Office. They brought assistance of the Dental Team from Camp Crame, Quezon City.
This year, we are blessed to partner with The GENERIKA DRUGSTORE which initiated the giving of free medicines for the 2nd Dental & Medical Mission for STAC Aklan. It was done on October 19, 2012 from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM, at APPO, Camp Pastor Martelino, New Buswang, Kalibo, Aklan.
The Aklan Press Club, Inc. collaborated with the Aklan Provincial Police Office under the cudgel of PSSUPT Pedrito M. Escarilla, the Aklan Medical Society (Pres - Arthur Salido), Philippine Dental Association – Aklan Chapter (Pres – Dr. Lucy Salido), and the Local Government Unit of Kalibo through Mayor William S. Lachica.
Ang Kasangga Party-list –Rep. Teodorico “Ted” Haresco, Jr., ALG Pawnshop, Hon. Soviet Dela Cruz (SB Kalibo), Rotary Club of Roxas - District 3850 Rotary International, Infant Jesus Academy Interact Club of RC Kalibo, Kiwanis International – Kalibo Jewels and Kalibo Chapters, Unilab, Tayco Medical Clinic & Drugstore, Bread & Butter, Youth Progress Service Organization (YSOP), Tamagos Delicacies, Mr. Robert Rose Macavinta, Jean’s Cakes and Pastries, Village Marketing & Trading (VMT), PNP Community Service Team, San Lorenzo Caregivers and some individual philanthropists sponsored the project. Some 200 special kid beneficiaries of STAC from Kalibo, Banga, Malinao, Makato, Tangalan, Buruanga and Malay were served.
The Aklan PNP Sub-station of Kalibo, Banga, Malinao, Makato, Tangalan, Malay and Burunga took charge of the logistics to help the young patients and their folks with transportation to Kalibo.
Mrs. Joanna Tay-Meren, Manager of STAC – Kalibo was very grateful to the initiators of the project.
The STAC – Kalibo and its satellite centers all over Aklan offers free rehabilitation services like Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy with Special Education (SPED) sessions, Parents’ Training Program (PTP), Barangay Health Workers (BHW) Training and other related services like Assistive Devices. They also offer Referral Services (medical/surgical), Family Support Programs like Services for Children with Disabilities (CWDs), Services for the Vulnerable Families of CWDs, and Special Support Services.
