Summer camp for kids with special needs launched
MANILA, Philippines — A 10-day summer camp for children with special needs has been launched in Infanta, Quezon, bringing together 200 participants from different areas including Metro Manila.
Pedya Kamp, a non-government and non-profit organization advocating for children with special needs, said the activity at the Infanta Central Elementary School started on May 7 and will run until May 18.
The event aims to promote inclusivity, awareness and developmental growth among children with special needs by exposing them to various educational and recreational activities.
