Hello, Moms & Dads! Brina Maxino, Global Youth Ambassador Youth Leader/Athlete and Sashi Montaña, Global Youth Ambassador Youth Partner/Volunteer of Team Philippines of the Special Olympics GYAS (Global Youth Activation Summit) program is inviting DSAPI to send 30 participants with Down Syndrome ages between 12-35 years old to their summer recruitment activity called “SO-GYAS Philippines Unified DancXercise Party” on May 17 (Saturday) from 10:00am – 1:00pm at the SM Sucat Event Center, 3rd Level, Building B, Dr. A. Santos Avenue (formerly Sucat Road), San Dionisio, Parañaque City. This project, approved by Special Olympics International, aims to (1) raise awareness about Special Olympics, (2) seek out youths with intellectual disabilities (ID) who want to become Special Olympics athletes, and (3) encourage people to volunteer in the movement. We hope to bring together approximately 150 people with and without ID for this activity. The target participants are youths with ID (any gender, ages 12-35 years old) who would like to become Special Olympics athletes and who can bring along a dancing partner, a person without ID (any gender, at least 12 years old) who is willing to become a Special Olympics volunteer. The partner can be a parent, a sibling, a relative, a classmate, a teacher, a caregiver, a friend, a neighbor, etc., who are not registered members of Special Olympics. This is a free event so there are no entrance or joining fees. There will be registration at the start of the event followed by an orientation about Special Olympics then the fun dance-exercise program to be led by a dance specialist. Participants are advised to come in comfortable dance/exercise clothes and rubber shoes. Should you wish to sign-up your child, please write his/her name, age, name of companion/partner and mobile number. Thank you! :)
