“As part of my charity drive campaign, I visited the centre and was heartbroken that they lacked funds to afford some of the children’s needs.
“I decided to organise a health awareness and fun walk to encourage residents to donate, raise funds and visit the centre.
“I want residents to learn about the different disabilities, causes and get to know the children and to treat them as part of the community.
“It is not comforting to know that some of the children don’t have loved ones visiting them, but through the involvement of the community they will also feel loved.”
