The iPad works perfectly as a tool for Deaf children to communicate with each other, learn how to read and write in a more entertaining way; and these gadgets provide a specific skill-set which could prepare them in facing the tough world. However, iPads remain out-of-reach among Deaf learners in the Philippines.

In the government-owned Baguio City Special Education (SPED) Center, Deaf learners still use the traditional book and blackboard methods every day. These are more often than not, outdated. Lucky are those whose parents can buy updated learning materials and tech products that aid their children in understanding their lessons in school.

While the Deaf learners are on summer vacation this April and May 2014, New Media Services would like to invite everyone who has just upgraded or replaced their iPad to donate their old or unutilized units for the benefit of these Deaf learners.

The old iPad units will be installed with a list of education applications that can help the Deaf learners in their Math and English subjects. We hope to have the first set of iPads released to third graders studying at the Baguio SPED Center as our primary beneficiaries.

In the past years, we already helped with “little miracles” to the Hearing Impaired Sequence of the school by renovating and refurnishing their classrooms, donating computers, sponsoring their Internet connection, providing learning materials- all things that the government could not easily provide as of the moment.

With your help, we can do a whole lot more good! You might think that the old iPad in the corner of your room collecting dust is just a simple gadget; but that old iPad can be a key to fruitful learning sessions that will change the lives of these Deaf kids in the Philippines.

To support the this endeavor of NMS CARES, the official charity arm of New Media Services, send your old iPad units to our Australian headquarters located at 4 Dundass Grove, Botanic Ridge, Victoria, Australia. We will handle the shipping expenses of the units to the Philippines. You may also send your iPad to the Philippine headquarter of NMS located at GF SFB No. 1, Baguio City Economic Zone, Baguio City.

You may also buy a refurbished iPad unit in an Apple store or online. For cash donations wherein NMS will do the purchasing for you, please visit the http://baguiosped.com/donate/donate/home.
