CCF Team headed to San Lazaro Hospital in Quiricada, Manila to entertain HIV Positive Kids, for PHAP Cares’ Christmas Outreach Program. This is our first time to do a charity event for HIV Positive Kids, thanks to the Doctors.
Most of these kids were born without knowing that they are affected by HIV. This is brought about by the irresponsible behavior of the parents in terms of sexual intercourse.
According to the doctors, it takes ten (10) years for HIV to manifest so it such a pity that these innocent children will be afflicted with the said virus.
The said children were laughing and playing as if they are normal kids without any disease at all.
They enjoyed the party so much that the kids were smiling, laughing and dancing along with Chummy Chum.
It is just but sad to know that, unlike cancer that has chemotherapy that will possibly kill the cancer cells, HIV has no cure. They are only given vitamins to help strengthen their immune system so they won’t get sick easily.
According to their Head, there were some instances that a kid seems fine and strong as he plays, but die the next time because one of his organs was already destroyed by the AIDS virus.
Thank you to Ms. Elaine for the balloons and Sir Pervi Chatlani for the story books. We intend not to disclose the identities of the children for their protection.
