This is an excellent project happening this Sunday (July 15). What is Best Buddies? Here…
Best Buddies Philippines, International (www.bestbuddies.org) is a volunteer organization which provides opportunities for people (volunteer buddies) to connect with our less fortunate brothers with developmental disabilities (special buddies). Each special buddy is paired with a volunteer buddy for the year-round activities of Best Buddies. Each pair will be with each other in eating, playing team games, assisting each other in all the activities, and develop a special bond of friendship. In this process of friendship building, special buddies are given undivided attention and value, as well as opportunities for social interaction and the chance to live fuller and happier lives.
I got this from Angela Perez… all the info you need to join this very good project:

It’s a wonderful way to promote awareness for our less fortunate children with special needs — cycling! Undoubtedly one of my favorite, or most favorite, sport, I am happy I am able to do it whilst helping out our children.
John, thank you so much!
Guys and gals, fellow teachers, see you this July 15! 🙂
