PAIDE has once again made a SPORTSFEST FOR THE DEAF possible after the pandemic years, which was concurrently held with the annual gift-giving for our Deaf friends last 2nd of December, 2023, at San Lodovico Parish, Antipolo City, and Marikina Sports Complex. The Catholic Laymen’s Association of the Deaf (CLAD) from Antipolo, Bulacan, Marikina, and Quezon City was delighted to experience these two events simultaneously.
PAIDE would like to extend its sincerest gratitude to everyone who made this event successful, from the volunteers, and participants to the sponsors and donors:
- PAIDE sign language interpreters who organized and patiently worked together behind the scenes until the day of the event;
- 3rd year students from PUP College of Kinetics for officiating the games;
- Sponsors for the Sportsfest from Rotary Club Abad Santos and Rotary Club Rockwell Makati;
- Individual donors for the gift-giving
The organization cannot thank you enough for sharing your blessings and supporting and believing in our cause.
As Mother Teresa says, “It’s not how much we give, but how much love we put into giving.”
