Ma’am Esther have been sharing her blessings with the poor for six years now. On this day, she shared it with the poor families living in South Cemetery. She invited the DMI of Our Lady of Divine Love Circles to be part of the worthwhile event. They called this event “Family Day”. When Chummy Chum came out, they had games for the children. The kids had a great time running, dancing, playing and taking pictures with Chummy Chum. After that the meals were served along with popcorn and cotton candies. This has been a truly memorable birthday celebration for Ma’am. Esther.

We learned that they (NICU Department) held a meeting just a week ago to inform CCF of their request for a replacement of photo therapy light, just as they were planning to give our office a call, they received a call from us to propose a hospital visit. Coincidence perhaps?

It has been 2 years since we last held an activity here at Quezon City General Hospital because aside from the location being quite far, the hospital changes administration frequently that’s why we have a hard time scheduling for a visit. They are not familiar with CCF except for the Property Division and OPD, they also are not aware of our Incubator donation. They do not make an effort to know the hospital’s previous donors so we make a point to give them a call and re-introduce CCF to them. Today the staff who are familiar of us were pleasantly surprised and even asked us why we haven’t been visiting them for a long time. The children who were there for a medical checkup were just as lucky as we gave them free snacks and gifts. Thank you to Ms. Elaine Sioco for the additional refreshments.

CCF Team went to Progressive 8 Molino 2 in Bacoor Cavite to accommodate the request of Mrs. Medrano to organize a charity activity at Bahay Parola Orphanage. Mrs. Medrano got in touch with us through email and she could not believe that we do not collect fees for our services. Big thanks to Morris Clowns for joining us and to Ms. Kimmi for sponsoring the prizes for the games.

The hospital is getting more beautiful and one even joked that it may soon be a private hospital. Thank you to Ms. Marianne, Pinky for the additional refreshments and Ma’am Ana Patricia for the toys.

The event was held at the parking area of the said mall. The turnout of people was quite below as what was expected because since it was election campaign period, there were lots of Medical Missions conducted in every barangays by the politicians running for positions. We intend to be non-partisan and decline offers for us to be part of any political campaign. Despite the low turnout, the medical mission went on smoothly.

The event was catered and we can say that it was an expensive with the quality of food chosen. When the birthday celebrant arrived, the program started. Her friends and the little girls of White Cross gave her flowers and candles as part of the ceremony, they also had a cotillion dance. Mam Pinky prepared a lot of gifts for the children and the guests and she also served as the host of the affair.

We recommended Alay Pag-Asa Christian Foundation as her beneficiary. They are the ones who help poor children to get an education with the help of kind-hearted individuals. On this day, Ms. Patricia celebrated her birthday with the said children. CCF Team arrived early with the clowns, and set up our booth. Afterwards Chummy Chum came out and danced with the children. After that, gift-giving ensued and children were given meals. The children all went home with smiles on their faces, as well as Ms. Patricia and her family.

We are glad to know that government hospitals look forward to a Chummy Chum visit on their Children’s Ward and OPD. They also told us that CCF is the only foundation/organization that consistently shown genuine love and care for the children in public hospitals as most of the charity foundations prefer orphanages. Today, children patients of Justice Gen get to meet Chummy Chum and receive Chummy Chum freebies and snacks. Picture shows the cheerful kids along with the kind Hospital Director. Big thanks to Ms. Ana Patricia for the food, Ms, Lizette for the refreshments and Ms. Kimmi for the giveaways.

Just like Ms Kimmy and the rest of the people getting our services for charity activities, they get surprise that CCF render its service for free and we even manage to give freebies to the poor children. Even though donors bring food and gifts themselves, CCF manage to give additional gifts and snacks for the children. Thank you Ms Anna Patricia for your unwavering trust.

We had a little difficulty as we were unable to cook enough popcorn because the electricity was weak in the area where the activity was held. Good thing Ms Sarah and friends brought lots of snacks for the kids. Thanks Ms Sarah & friends for the food and to Ms. Anchi for the cupcakes and additional prizes for the games.
