UP Sandigan @ Children's Joy Foundation.

UP Sandigan held anothre institution visit this semester at the Children’s Joy Foundation in Project Eight, Quezon City together with three of our applicants, johnelle, mars (my buddy) and mikko on march 17, 2007. We were welcomed with such warmth by Ma’am Shirley, her staff and all the kids there.

The program started with Janeth’s opening remarks and introduction of the organization.

A getting-to-know-you activity stirred the children’s energy for the rest of the afternoon and made them comfortable with their ates and kuyas. The kids were really friendly that we didn’t have a hard time asking them to participate. In fact, the moment we came in, they started greeting us with cute little smiles on their faces, as if we’ve been there before. Of course, UP Sandigan has visited the place before, but that was years ago, some of the mems haven’t been in this institution that’s why it was still a first for some of us, actually.

After the icebreaker, we played ate jen’s math game. Buti na lang wala si jan!hehe. ubos kaming mga hindi adik sa math niyan!!! (ako lang yata.basta taga-cal). We also had a creative drama activity prepared for them with real cool props by dan the fa man of course, cherry and cherry’s mum, with some help from ca and me.



In turn, they made us happy when they showcased the plucking and strumming of their guitars, the thumping of percussion instruments—particularly that k-hon favorite, and a violin performance on the side.


They also danced for us like three times and sang us some Yeng Constantino song “Hawak Kamay”, who recently joined in deal or no deal and chose the institution as the recipient of whatever she got from the game.

After the activities, the children ate the food that we prepared for them, care of ate marie from the kiosk in front of our tambayan, hmm…we’ve made some real good connections din pala. and then we left them with some token that the kids can use.

kenken didn't like to mingle with anyone, even my pacute didn't make any effect on him but cherry liked him so much that she approached and talked to him.nakikita nya kasi yung sarili niya sa pagiging anti-social nito.

and ken-ken is smiling here.aww
