A fellow blogger needs our help

Ideally, weekends are for family bonding. Be it at home or any place you and your loved ones can spend a great time together.

For us bloggers, we often get invites for out of town trips where we are even allowed to bring a family member or a friend to join in especially if the host or venue offers some activities that are family-oriented.

Last April 5, fellow blogger Vance Madrid (www.purpleplumfairy.blogspot.com) and her mom Rica attended an event in Pampanga where they were treated to some exciting activities. However, what could have been a fun experience turned into a forgettable moment for them after they got hurt while riding a ATV during the event.

They were transported back to Manila after the accident. After some test, Vance's mother was confined and was advised to undergo an operation soon.

Vance, who also suffered bruises in different part of her body, is knocking the hearts of those willing to help her and her mom. Below is her account details. Thank you in advance to those who will send help in any amount and ways they can.

Donate your Old iPad for Deaf Learners



The iPad works perfectly as a tool for deaf children to communicate with each other, learn how to read and write in a more entertaining way; and these gadgets provide a specific skill-set which could prepare them in facing the tough world. However, iPads remain out-of-reach among deaf learners in the Philippines.

In the government-owned Baguio City Special Education (SPED) Center, deaf learners still use the traditional book and blackboard methods every day. These are more often than not, outdated. Lucky are those whose parents can buy updated learning materials and tech products that aid their children in understanding their lessons in school.

While the deaf learners are on summer vacation this April and May 2014, New Media Services would like to invite everyone who has just upgraded or replaced their iPad to donate their old or unutilized units for the benefit of these deaf learners.

The old iPad units will be installed with a list of education applications that can help the deaf learners in their Math and English subjects. We hope to have the first set of iPads released to third graders studying at the Baguio SPED Center as our primary beneficiaries.

In the past years, we already helped with “little miracles” to the Hearing Impaired Sequence of the school by renovating and refurnishing their classrooms, donating computers, sponsoring their Internet connection, providing learning materials- all things that the government could not easily provide as of the moment.

With your help, we can do a whole lot more good! You might think that the old iPad in the corner of your room collecting dust is just a simple gadget; but that old iPad can be a key to fruitful learning sessions that will change the lives of these deaf kids in the Philippines.

To donate, you can send your old iPad units to our Australian headquarters located at 4 Dundass Grove, Botanic Ridge, Victoria, Australia. We will handle the shipping expenses of the units to the Philippines.

You can also support the Hearing Impaired Sequence of Baguio City SPED Center by donating through this link: http://baguiosped.com/donate/donate/home. For questions and suggestions, email us at info@newmediaservices.com.au now.
