CCF Staff headed to Bacoor Cavite upon the invitation of St. Francis Assisi College. This is the second time that we were invited for their charity activities. They would have wanted it annually but we kindly told them that it would depend on our schedule if we could accommodate their request. Just like the previous time, they gathered funds from January to December for the benefit of poor kids in their community. The program started with games as we prepare 150 bags of popcorns for the children. After the games they called out Chummy Chum to dance and have pictures taken with the children. CCF was given a Certificate of Appreciation from the Owner and Founder of St. Francis of Assisi College. The owner was very simple and down to earth.

The social worker has known CCF from way back as we had several charity tie-ups. The staff of Sta. Ana hospital went ahead to the venue but waited for others before they set up. The programs started with games and the kids were very participative. The organizer was kind enough to shoulder our toll expense so we could go home fast. We intended not to show the kids’ faces for their protection. Thank you Ate Patricia for volunteering.

Big thanks to Pat for volunteering.

CCF Truck was finally fixed and we were able to use it for this event. The activity was held at a church in Fourth Estate in Paranaque, just near CCFPI headquarters. As we arrived at the venue we started to set up our booth and prepared the popcorn. The kids were enjoying watching us cook popcorn. They would watch us cook that participate in games! Even young adults, lolos and mommies participated in the game and everyone had a great time. We are very glad that we get to visit these unfortunate kids again.

CCF Team went to San Nicholas Chapel in Paranaque for a gift giving activity w/ Ms Kharen as she celebrates her birthday with poor kids. For some unexpected circumstances, this is the longest time that our Chummy Chum truck was out of service. To those who have invited us since November 10, especially the new ones, we ask for your kind understanding if we didn’t get to grace your activities. To those who know CCF, they asked for a reschedule because they know we stay true to our word. On Ms. Kharen’s special day, we were lucky to have borrowed a panel truck so we can get to the event. We arrived early and began to set up our booth. The program started with games as they await the donor. The kids enjoyed the games despite the gloomy weather. All these were prepared by CCF & Ms. Kharen.

CCF Team went to Bahay Aruga to accompany Ms. Cha for her annual charity activity. Since 2011, Ms. Cha has always sought our help to find less fortunate children within Metro Manila whom we could help. For this particular event, we suggested Bahay Aruga, which is the nearest Center to where Ms. Cha lives. The program started with games and Chummy Chum came out and danced with the children. After that, the kids were given meals and gifts. The kids were very happy and thankful to Ms. Cha and CCF for choosing them as beneficiaries. We intend not to disclose the identities of these kids on the photos for their protection.

We left our HQ at 4:30 am and we arrived at 9:00 am. A lot of people were there for the free medical checkup. The children present became very excited when we started setting up. They were delighted to see our colorful balloons as we displayed them. There was a bit of a chaos in the line as everyone wanted to go first in getting Chummy Chum freebies, good thing an official arrived and sorted it out. The kids lined up properly after that, and they all went home happy because of the Chummy Chum Freebies.

We had a difficult time going to the venue because the road was too steep and the Chummy Chum van had a hard time getting to the venue. As a result, we arrived late, as well as the organizers. The Rotaractors and CCF stayed at the venue with the kids. There were games and the kids danced along with Chummy Chum and had their picture taken with him. After which, gifts and freebies were distributed to the children.

Chummy Chum headed to Muntinlupa to grace DSWD’s National Children’s Month Celebration. Almost 500 kids from poor communities participated in the event. The program started with reading ‘10 Rights of a Child’. The kids were given breakfast first, before they started the games. The venue was quite big so the children to run and play to their hearts content. Those who got tired were told to rest a bit and were given popcorns for snacks. After the games, the winners received prizes courtesy of DSWD and CCF contributed several prizes too. Afterwards, CCF team packed their things to prepare for the next event.

CCF went to National Children’s Hospital located at E. Rodriguez Quezon City to accompany Ms. Erika and her family as they share their blessings to children afflicted with cancer. I told this story to Ms. Erika and she couldn’t help but cry as she saw the condition of the children here. She is very thankful to CCF for helping sick and less-fortunate children without expecting anything in return.

CCF Team went to Brgy. Tutukan in Taguig City to grant the request of Mrs Ariola as she shares her blessings to poor kids in the community. The activity was held in the barangay hall. Mrs. Ariola is a midwife and we met her in Western Bicutan Health Center. Just like other sponsors, they could not believe that we, at CCFPI, offer our services for free. This is a way of giving back to God for all the blessing that our Founder and his family has received, and to encourage others to also give back to less fortunate children. CCF has been doing this for nine (9) years and since then their family has been abundantly blessed
