Friends and schoolmates hold fund raising dance workshop for injured dance major
UP Dance major Bryll Dumandan met a motorcycle accident which left him with a fractured left leg.
For someone who considers dancing as his life, the accident was beyond comprehension. But friends and supporters from both his former and current schools, the Philippine High School for the Arts and University of the Philippines Diliman College of Music, came out to show their support. They have organized a fund-raising drive to cover his rehabilitation and medical expenses.
