CLARK FREEPORT -- Widus Hotel and Casino led by its audit and compliance manager Beverly Anne Conde gave ten brand new electric cooling fans and various athletic equipment to the Central Luzon Drug Rehabilitation Center (CLDRC) last Wednesday, November 8.

“We hope these donations could better serve our community as we try to help make the patients’ stay more comfortable even in the simplest way,” Conde said.

According to CLDRC Program Director Conrado Briton, the center currently homes 311 patients and about seventy percent of which belong to the indigent group.

“Most of the patients we accommodate are not financially capable of sustaining their treatment expenses here that is why we are really grateful for Widus’ generosity in giving electric fans for our dormitory. These would be of great help in providing a more comfortable stay to our patients. I’m also glad they included sports equipment in support to our recreational activities and programs,” Conrado said.

Resident CLDRC psychologist Arlyn Zinampan echoed the same excitement describing the donations which included basketball and volleyball balls, badminton sets and table tennis equipment as “timely gifts” due to their ongoing sportsfest.

“We are very much excited to use these items as we always encourage our patients to engage in different sports and fun recreational activities as a part of their six-month program,” Zinampan added.

CLDRC is a rehabilitation center inside the country’s biggest military reservation in Nueva Ecija for drug users with mild to moderate levels of addiction.
