Be a Play Champion! Unilab Foundation and partners invite everyone to be part of this year’s ‘Play Advocacy Week’

Every child should have access to play. Be it disaster or disease, children are exposed to different situations where they become vulnerable, and they are forced to put their childhood on hold. They may already be suffering from trauma and distress, and there is often no space or opportunity for them to play.

Unilab Foundation believes that play is essential to a child’s holistic development, which is why Play It Forward (PIF) was launched in 2012. All of PIF’s activities are designed to highlight play and its significance to the mental health of children, especially in vulnerable situations. Play It Forward uses therapeutic play to provide psychosocial support to pediatric patients and to children in post-disaster or disaster-prone communities.

This year, PIF takes play further with Play Advocacy Week 2018, a week-long campaign to encourage everyone to take play seriously and to explore how play can be integrated in today’s society. Happening from November 18 to 24, Play Advocacy Week 2018 aims to make the public recognize the importance of play in a child’s holistic development.

After KOMIKON, Back and Bloggin'!

I apologize for quite a hiatus for probably a week because of KOMIKON. But since its over and I'm now free, I can now attend to provide you again with the latest news and events today. Here I offer an apology cake for all readers and keep posted for anything new I love to share with you all!

But first of all I would like to congratulate the KOMIKON for a job well done for this day. Too bad for me that I came in late to sell my comics KRISIS KOMIX (Identity Krisis and World Krisis). It was a fun day for me despite my ailment in my leg. Had fun with comic friends. Though I don't have enough budget for comics for this time, I am happy to see that this industry is growing again in the digital age.
