Kiwanis on April Fools Day dedicated time for indigent children



No kidding, they celebrated April Fools in honest-to-goodness, all-around service to 100 children in the heart of Barangay Tatalon, Quezon City with the support of Shawarma Shack CEO Walther Buenavista.

 

Kiwanis International Philippine Luzon District Division 3A clubs under the leadership of their energetic and supportive Lieutenant Governor Grace Bondad Nicolas serviced more than 100 indigent children and successfully got their rewards …… putting a smile in the children’s faces.

 

Spearheading the project was KC Manila Bay officers and members headed by Ezelle Gascon together with KC Makati, KC BGC McKinley, KC Malate West, KC. Pasay, KC Pasay Eagle, KC Pasay North and KC Reachin Beyond. They prepared the food, gifts and games.

 



Free magic show sponsored by Elemento Group of Magic truly entertained the crowd and captured the kids’ attention and curiosity.

 

KC BGC  McKinley headed by it’s  President  Dr. Rocaya Vanessa Sarangani-Mangondato conducted medical check- up on the kids, and provided their needed medicines and vitamins.

 

KC Pasay, KC Pasay North and KC Pasay Eagle gave away hygiene kits with DGE Glenda Hufano gracing the occasion.

 

KC Reachin Beyond endorsed the magic show not just for the children but for everyone in attendance. A magical day indeed.

 

KC Malate West offered psychological testing and counseling at The Child's World in  nearby Banawe Street, there being no  children with special needs that day.

 

KC Makati treated the tired but fulfilled Kiwanian volunteers to buffet dinner at Illos of the Pearl Garden Hotel, Adriatico, courtesy of LG Grace Bondad Nicolas.

 

Brother Eduardo A. Castro, Social Service Coordinator of the Sto. Domingo Parish assisted the Kiwanis officers and members in the planning and implementation of the successful activity.  Missionaries Fathers Simon and Peter from the parish church received the extra toys for their celebration the next day, marking an extension of our outreach up to Palm Sunday!
