Mission Accomplished for 2005

By Christian F. Celada

  

PAIDE provided sign language interpreters for another year to Persons With Disabilities. Last year's celebration was held on December 4, 2005 at the Don Bosco Institute of Technology in Makati City .

The celebration started with an Ecumenical Mass followed simultaneously by the Christmas program; gift giving and the medical and dental services. The theme for the celebration was “Together to Get There Year VI”.

Hundreds of persons with disabilities filled the quadrangle of Don Bosco to avail of the free medical and dental services offered by Archdiocese of Manila Office for Persons With Disabilities Ministries (AMO-PDM).

PAIDE volunteer interpreters were tasked to provide interpreting services to our Deaf brothers and sisters seeking medical and dental attention. Some of the interpreters were also assigned in the story telling sessions for Deaf children.

It was also a baptism of fire to our neophyte interpreters who were given their first hands in medical interpreting jobs. Congratulations to you Ron and Ton-Ton. More interpreting jobs to come on your way!

The sign language interpreters who gave their full support to this mission were Sonia Lodado; Michael Potian; Ma. Antonette Padilla; Criselda Sabayan; Marina Francisco; Nemz Abiday; Dr. Cathy Tuazon; Eva Eva; Ronald Santos; Sir Jun Celada and Ma'am Letty Uy.
