The Missionaries of the Poor

For the second consecutive year, Sir Neil celebrated his birthday by sharing his blessings with those most in need. Held at the Missionaries of the Poor in San Andres Bukid, Manila, the special gathering benefited 50 children from underserved community. The blessings were extended to 50 residents and volunteers from the center, including children with special needs and elderly beneficiaries.

Chummy Chum Foundation prepared meals, groceries, gifts, games, a puppet show, and joyful entertainment. Sir Neil’s friends also joined the activities, making the celebration even more memorable. The children enjoyed dancing and playing with Chummy Chum before everyone gathered to sing “Happy Birthday” to Sir Neil.

Chummy Chum is grateful to have celebrated this special day with Sir Neil for the benefit of children most in need. Indeed, one of the most meaningful ways to express gratitude for life’s blessings is by extending kindness and joy to the less fortunate.

Happy Birthday, Sir Neil! May this beautiful yearly tradition continue to bring hope, happiness, and love to many.

Special appreciation is also extended to SM City Sucat for the lovely Bunny Bear shared with the children.
