SM Supermalls Celebrates World Cerebral Palsy Day
SM
Cares teamed up with the Cerebral Palsy Epilepsy Family Awareness Support
Group.PH Inc. as its official event partner to celebrate World Cerebral Palsy
Day through a Cerebral Palsy. The event was celebrated with a Hip Awareness
workshop and physical check-up, held last October 22, Sunday, at the SM Mall of
Asia Arena Annex Building in Pasay City.
The
workshop aimed to orient, help, and guide parents of children with cerebral
palsy and epilepsy on hip dysplasia, a congenital complication where the hip
joint bones do not fit together properly. This condition makes affected
children more prone to hip dislocation, which, in turn, affects their mobility
and self-sufficiency.
"If you have an unlimited number of
'whys' regarding what we are currently experiencing, it's even more crucial
that we engage in continuous contemplation about how and what we can do to
ensure a better life and a beautiful future for our children," said
Cerebral Palsy Epilepsy Family Awareness Support Group.PH Inc. President and
Founder, Jessa Marmol.
“This
marks a significant moment for us, not only because it's the second year for us
to host such an important event, but it also represents SM Supermalls' ongoing
commitment to raising awareness and providing support to our friends with
Cerebral Palsy,” said SM Supermalls’ Senior Vice President for Operations and
Director for SM Cares Program on Persons with Disabilities, Engr. Bien Mateo.
“SM
Cares is all about ‘Supporting Communities.’ In the spirit of social inclusion,
we find ways to make our malls accessible and our frontliners assistive to
individuals with cerebral palsy, as well as the families who care for them.”
“SM
cares, and we always will be a mall for all. No one gets left behind, and we
hope that everyone will be able to enjoy the same fun and leisure in our
malls,” Engr. Mateo added.
