By getting together talents with and without Intellectual and Development Disabilities (IDDs), this concerted effort promises to create a heartwarming vibe about the power of friendship and social inclusion.
“Music is something that the buddies identify with; it brings people together all the time. It is meant to create change in the community. Sounds of Change will feature buddies with IDDs who have incredible talents as we believe that the best way to amplify these talents is to put the spotlight on them, even just for one night, and showcase their abilities, ” says Michelle Aventajado, BBP Executive Director.

In fact, BBP will also conduct an orientation and training for the staff of Hard Rock Café Manila’s, to remind them on how to work and build a connection with employees with IDD, underscoring that their differences should not be regarded as disadvantages, but as unique talents, an important mindset in leadership and employment.
