SAORI Weaving is a form of therapy for individuals with special needs. It has helped people with disabilities by improving their motor skills, behavior and attention span. It has given them a sense of self-esteem that promotes inclusion in the society and dignity in their work as a form of livelihood.


Angel Carbonilla is a Deaf SAORI Artist who has been teaching weaving and Basic Sign Language in Museo Pambata for five years. “Maghabi at Matuto” was his first solo exhibition.

 

During the event held on November 28, 2007, we invited kids together with their parents and teachers. These children with disability are presently studying at public schools within Metro Manila. The launching of Angel’s exhibit was attended by teachers and students from Legarda Elementary School, P. Gomez Elementary School, M. Hizon Elementary School, Justo Lukban Elementary School, Palma Elementary School and Aurora Elementary School. This is in coordination with the Department of Education in Manila.

Angel Carbonilla’s story and works serve as an inspiration to all, especially to children with disabilities. Through the help of VSA arts Philippines and support from Ms. Rebecca M.
