Kapampangan Development Foundation (KDF) a non-profit organization, in cooperation with Operation Blessing and the Social Action Center of Pampanga (SACOP), has distributed 100 units of wheelchairs to indigents last July 16, 2008 at the Clark Polytechnic School.
Indigent beneficiaries from the Municipality of Apalit were blessed to received 10 units of wheelchairs. Brgy. Sulipan received 2 units of wheelchairs, 1 unit in Brgy. San Juan, 1 unit in Brgy. Tabuyuc and 6 units of wheelchairs in Brgy. San Vicente. These were made possible through the efforts of the barangay coordinators of Buklud Kabalen Inc. (BKI), headed by Ms. Tess Castro(San Vicente), Ms. Edith Binuya(San Juan), Ms. Tess Cabrera(Tabuyuc) and Mr. Oscar Maglalang(Sulipan), Dr. Sandiego (Municipal Health Officer of Apalit), Dr. Glenn Torres and MSWD Apalit. Representatives from the Barangay councils of Apalit were also present that day, they were the ones who assisted the beneficiaries from their respective barangays to go to the Distribution area in Clarkfield Pampanga.
This is a part of the program Walking Free Pampanga of the province which aims to make the physically handicapped and amputess become mobile again. Mr. Benigno Ricafort head of KDF said that they aim to distribute more wheelchairs in the upcoming months.
This is a sign in Apalit and in Pampanga that with Bayanihan (Helping One Another), we can make things happen. We can be better and do better as long as there is unity and cooperation in the community.
