Kaakbayan Rehabilitation center

This rehabilitation center is located in Bangkal, Davao city. An NGO based that caters the needs of the children and adults in their physical therapy. The institution is housed in an old residential building that welcomes autistic and those adults need assistance for their physical motor skills recovery.

I went there when a classmate of mine asked me to accompany her in her visit to the area. As we enter the institution, three things I had greatly noticed. There are no or less air-conditioned rooms for the patients however; they have electric fans to ventilate the area. I believe this is very difficult since patients must have enough space for them to breathe. Although the institution is doing the possible convenience, they could give to the patients however, they do not have enough funds to have these kinds of utilities.

The second thing I had noticed is the area of the space that is not convenient for the patients. It is nevertheless small if they prompt to accommodate more patients or help more people in that institution. Since the building used to be residential, the house has about 4 rooms, 1 kitchen and a living room turned a patient ward.

The third thing I had noticed the rehabilitation area is for children has less space for playroom. This is what my classmates are ought to do, to give an architectural design or draft as to the possible design for the playroom which will be located in front of the area.

Basically all in all the rehabilitation center initiated by the non-government organization is clearly not enough or has less utilities to effectively do their job. I am appealing to any blogger or reader who has the heart that hopefully my dream is just for any large company or organization that provide help for this institution.

Or perhaps of anyone that is linked to UNICEF or international NGO, or even Oprah’s angel network will have the chance to look over this genuine service by the Kaakbayan.
