We went out to visit at Tahanang Walang Hagdan which translated is "a home without stairs". It is a large facility that provides work for people with physical disabilities. We had previously worked with Tahanang and wanted to talk about another partnership. Tahanang has a wood shop, where some furniture and a lot of toys are made, a painting shop; a metal shop
where they make some wheelchairs, a sewing room, where they were making bags and embroidering on a logo. The best place to work is in the room where they repack medications into a physicians sample pack because it is air conditioned. A number of the clients
live at Tahanang. They also make a lot of items that are sold at their gift shop and of
course I had to buy as much as I could.

This is the woodworking shop. They make some furniture and lots of wooden toys for their gift shop.home.
The painting shop.
This man is working on the lathe. It looks like fun to me. It is a skill I think I will learn when I get home.
Repacking pills. You might note that the hands of the gentleman.
The gift shop had lots of handmade treasures. Sister Smith is looking at one of those dolls that is one character and then you flip it upside down and it becomes another.
There were lots of puzzles and wooden games. |
