IDEA offers you the opportunity to help a deaf child or a blind child in the Philippines go to school. Because of the very tough economic conditions in their homes, school is just not an option for these kids without financial assistance.

WHAT DOES YOUR SPONSORSHIP HELP PROVIDE?

• Schooling
• Classroom supplies
• School uniform
• 24 hour loving care in one of IDEA PHIL’s dormitory/homes
• All meals
• Medical care
• Transportation to and from their home on weekends

ALL OF THESE FOR ONLY $45 PER MONTH

Bohol and Leyte are large islands that take 3 to 5 hours to travel from one end to the other. For this reason the children need to come to Special Education Centers that IDEA has established in cooperation with the Philippine government.

The classrooms for the Deaf or Blind are mixed into the regular government schools. Typically there may be 1000 regular students attending school in an elementary school campus with 50 to 70 IDEA supported deaf students and blind students. The Deaf or the Blind have their special classrooms and special teachers but are mainstreamed into some classes. There are 5 such elementary school centers supported by IDEA on Bohol and Leyte.

IDEA also supports the Bohol Deaf Academy as a private high school. This school is not a government school although it is accredited by the government.

You can make a PROFOUND difference in the life of a deaf child or blind child. You will receive progress reports and updates on your child. The child will also personally send you cards and letters. You are given the option to correspond with your child and even share with them during birthdays and Christmas.
