Educational Tour at Elsie Gaches Village
My Classmates at Elsie Gaches Multi-Purpose Hall |

It was my first time to go at Elsie Gaches so as we were on our way, there's so many question that linger in my mind like what is the feature of the institution, what specific mental retardation do they accept, does their facilities are enough for all the clients they have and what activities they have for client? This all questions was answered when the psychologist in Elsie Gaches tour us in different wards of the institution.
I learned a lot from the social worker who orient us before we visit all the clients, from the only doctor who give us information about the different diseases that the clients have and from the only one psychologist there who tour us in different wards.
While having our tour, I saw the clients feel happy to see us. Some clients greet us and want to talk with us. There also some clients who play football, do some handicrafts, trained on some household chores.
Educational Tour at Sanctuary Center
Sanctuary's Multi -Purpose Hall |
Sanctuary's Entrance |
The pictures were taken when we have our Educational tour at Sanctuary Center (Mandaluyong City) last March 7, 2012.When we were already on the entrance of Sanctuary, I feel nervous though we have met some of the clients there when we conduct an outreach program last December at Rainforest Park (Maybunga Pasig City). But when we do our program, my feelings of nervous turns into happiness and joy seeing all the clients enjoy the activities we prepared for them. I saw all of the clients smiling when they saw us.
I really enjoy having a short conversation with some clients. I feel so very happy to see every one laughing. I feel so good to see all of them smiling. But the saddest part of making them happy for a while is to say good bye to them.
Hope we can back again there!
