Angels Training Camp
May 28-30, 2010
Since 2005, Beautiful Gate Foundation for the Disabled has been continuously promoting “Be An Angel Campaign”, a volunteer-based training camp which gives an opportunity to participants to embark on a mission towards caring for people with disabilities (PWD). The main objective of this innovative program is to break the barriers between the PWD and society. Besides promoting volunteerism and community partnership, it is indeed a channel to build better relationship and communications between disabled and society.
In order to carry out training for a group of dedicated and sincere volunteers, an effective method of training is applied. This 3 days 2 nights stay-in training program lets participants experience real-life interaction and living with the PWD.
The participants are divided into groups and given tasks to be completed with the disabled team members. Overall, they will learn how to take care and have a better understanding toward disabled people. Upon completion of the training, participants are required to carry out a 30-hour “Angels at work” service within 6 months for PWD within Beautiful Gate. A certificate of appreciation will be awarded to participants who have fulfilled their required hours of service.
To increase public empathy towards PWD, we hope to have more volunteers who can actively participate in this training camp. Your participation and support for this campaign will build the platform needed to bring positive changes towards development of the disabled community.
