A group of persons with disability (PWD), Life Haven Inc, has dedicated its life in giving PWDs a chance in life - a chance to live independently.
This does not mean PWDs don’t need help. Of course everybody does, abled or disabled. But the main concern is to give PWDs an opportunity to be part of this crazy world.
A simple intension of bringing PWDs to the society - where PWDs can socialize, get educated/employed, and live life - or as one member would say “to rock and roll”, is what Life Haven Inc. is pushing for.
Of course, in every effort to do so, funding is key. This is why Life Haven Inc. is putting up a fundraising concert entitled “LIVE FREE”, for the sole purpose of bringing in new hope to the disabled sector and bringing the ‘abled sector’ to get involved.
On May 30, 2009, 8pm, at Crossroad 77 Mother Ignacia St, Quezon City, see PWD performers and non-PWD artists take the same stage in showing off their talents in music and performing arts.
Beautiful Gate Performing Arts (PWD Malaysian performers; Rondall on Wheels from Bahay Mapagmahal; wheelchair-bound ballroom dancers from Tahanang Walang Hagdanan; Sparkle Band – a group of autistic musicians; will perform hand in hand with mainstream bands such as Juan Pablo Dream; Blue Jean Junkies; and Good Morning High Five.
By this simple gesture of seeing abled and disabled groups working together to entertain us in this concert, Life Haven Inc. is starting a movement and a lifestyle – that indeed this crazy world can be a happier place when everybody – abled and disabled – is playing on the same team.
