Having a sense of community and support are vital in going through college, and it can be particularly difficult to feel that as a person with disability.
Thus, the Sanggunian: Commission on Disability Inclusion (CDI) will be launching a community and support group for Student with Disabilities (SWDs) to provide comfort and guidance to students within the Ateneo de Manila University, regardless of the type of disability (with or without a PWD card), by creating a space where the community members can build friendships, share their experiences as a PWD, navigate college and life, and unwind alongside their peers who have similar conditions or life experiences as them.
So that we are guided in how to serve the community as best we can, we would like to gauge the interest of the community in this initiative as well as the activities and other related initiatives you would be interested in partaking in.
Kindly answer the interest check from February 12 to February 23.
To be updated on this initiative or if you have any questions or concerns, you may direct them to our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/SangguCDI.
