August 4, 2014, Baguio
City – Following
its official registration as a non-stock corporation by the Securities and
Exchange Commission, NMS Cares Inc. was formally introduced to the local
community in a successful social gathering last August 2, 2014 at the Crown
Legacy Hotel in Baguio City.
The event was attended by city government
leaders, active advocates for the Deaf and of PWD's, Special Education school
heads and teachers, parents of Deaf learners and eager participants from the
community. Staying true to its vision to make Deaf children reach their dreams,
key members of the NMS Cares team, headed by founder Martin Eyking delivered a
slew of presentations showcasing the brief history of the organization, its
inner workings, and their plans for the future.
Martin Eyking was quoted during his opening
speech at the event as saying,
Our aims and dreams are huge, we have many ideas and plans. We are building NMS Cares with clear directions and short term goals; they include a dedicated building for NMS cares to serve the needs of the Deaf community as well as delivering IT programs for young Deaf learners and Signing workshops for the parents.
The gathering was punctuated by an on point
delivery of General Manager Ara Paz Esperanza Villanueva on the current state
of Deafness, both internationally and locally, with information from the World
Health Organization. Her presentation also put a spotlight on the current
programs being run by the organization, as well as short-term and long term plans,
which include Parents of Newborn Deaf Babies Support Structure and a Visiting
Teacher for the Deaf Service.
NMS Cares ended the event by assuring the
attendants that the organization will continue to make it their mission to
provide all the support they can give for the young Deaf learners of the local
community, and of their families.
