Last week Howell mentioned that they are organizing a gift giving in one of the orphanage in Mandaluyong. Sabi ko gusto ko sumama. Last time kse na nagpunta ako sa orphanage was 4 years ago pa ata noong 18th birthday celebration ng cousin ko.
We left the house around 11 am kse sabi ko kay Howell mga toys na lang ang i-contribute namin. So before heading to our meeting place, we went first to Tutuban to buy some toys for the kids. Hindi na nag park si Howell kse ang daming tao sa Tutuban that time, so kami na lang ng cousin ko ang pumunta sa Andings (yung toy store sa tutuban). We went around and we we're able to buy toys for 60 kids.
We arrived at Nayon ng Kabataan around 2 pm, and pagdating namin nag start na sila agad sa program. They started with a doxology, then short message from the administrator ng nayon ng kabataan thanking us for visiting them then a short message from our group's representatives. After ng mga message namin, nag salita yung emcee and i was really touched and moved by her message that it made me cry. this is what she said (as far as I can remember):
"Napakaganda ng araw na ito kse hindi ito kagaya ng mga ibang araw natin. Ngayon, napaka swerte natin at kahit nag hihirap na ang bansa natin, may mga tao pa ding nakakaalala sa atin. Kaya nagpapasalamat po kami ng marami sa inyong lahat"
Then all the kinds started shouting thank you. It was just a short message but it really moved me coz the kids are really very happy. You can really see the joy in their faces.
After that may mga nag perform na mga kids then after their performance, we served the food. Unfortunately, before we can serve the food it started to rain. Sa open field lang kse kami nag party kaya noong umulan, nagsiksikan na yung mga bata sa maliit na tent. But they are still excited kse nga se-serve na namin yung food. Kaya kahit siksikan sila sa maliit na tent, they waited patiently for their food to be served.
After nilang kumain, pinamigay na din namin yung mga toys and slippers na na gather nila Howell plus yung dala namin na toys. And they are really really happy and excited sa mga toys na nakuha nila.
Noong pauwi na kami, lahat sila habol ng habol sa amin. Thank you sila ng thank you and nag sorry pa nga sa akin yung 2 bata kse daw makulit sila noong namimigay kami ng food. We also brougth our digital camera and lahat talaga sila pose ng pose sa camera. Sabi ko kay Howell padevelop na lang namin tapos dalhin na lang namin ulit don yung copies nila. Below are some of our pictures.
Nga pala, may isang bata don and sabi nila kamukha daw ni Howell. She's a cute little girl and her name is Mariane. below is our picture with her:
Noong pauwi na kami, sabi namin ni Howell we will try to do this every year. Hopefully, magawa naman namin yun. Coz ang sarap talaga ng feeling na kahit in our own little way we were able to make these kids's xmas a little special.
