SIBU: A local non-profit organisation, Wishesland Kuching, is looking to extend its support services for children with cerebral palsy to Sibu in future.
This was shared by Wishesland Kuching founder and president Chi Poh Yung on Friday (April 22).
Programmes planned for the new Sibu branch will include early intervention, integrated classroom, workshop facilities, short-term residential training, group homes, intensive parents training courses, toy library, hydrotherapy and Wishesland playground.
According to Chi, the organisation was in the process of registering Wishesland Sibu with the Registrar of Societies.
“Many parents of children with cerebral palsy in Sibu have been giving us positive feedback on a Wishesland branch in Sibu. We hope the branch can be set up soon to give treatment to these children.”
Chi, who is also Wishesland Sibu advisor, said a pro-term committee for the Sibu branch with seven committee members had been set up with its first committee meeting held virtually on March 22.
Meanwhile, Wishesland Sibu founder Kevin Yeo said the team in Sibu was currently looking for a suitable place as its centre.
“We are seeking for financial support from the public and companies in Sibu for our first-year operation, which is hopefully by the first half of 2023.”
Chi can be contacted at 019-2288419 while Yeo’s number is 0111-6077357.
