Share thy Blessing at Kanlungan sa ER-MA: Make a difference!
We always have a yearly gift giving activity. Doing it every Christmas is a normal activity for us. However, some of the institutions we have been visiting said that their Christmas schedule has been very tight in contrast with their normally relaxed schedule during the rest of the year. This gave us an idea. For a change, we decided to start the year a little different by giving back and sharing our blessings to our less fortunate brothers and sisters. Trying to make the 1st day of the year - an extension of Christmas Day.
Our relatives told us that they know of an orphanage needing some support. Without any hesitation and further questions, we went to the orphanage and gave our small gift. Even without prior notice, the caretaker welcomed us. Unfortunately the kids were busy with their presentation to their donors/ sponsors, so we were not able to meet and greet them personally which is quite alright for us.
We learned that this is the residential center for girls. They are ran by the Kanlungan sa Ermita-Malate, a non-profit organization, helping street kids to have a better chance in life. It has a separate housing for boys. The caretaker informed us that some donors even hold their birthday celebration with the kids right there. That would be a nice idea to try next time!
