Saturday was one of the best Saturdays spent this year.
Zarah, having worked together on a charity project before for the elderly, buzzed me last Tuesday regarding another volunteer work. I was really excited. This time it’s for the other end of the spectrum, kids. The RSCC Orphanage is located just at the back of SM North EDSA.
It was a feeding program hosted by Michy and her friend. 20 minutes after we got to the venue, we see kids running with so much enthusiasm towards the activity hall. It was a total of 62 kids. I think we were about 10 in the group. They were so giddy about that afternoon’s activities. Most were generally playful. Some need affection –a touch, a tender hug.
Girl V. Boy: These two kids wanted my undivided attention and didn't want to let go of my hand.

They took their respective seats in their small chairs. The boys are grouped all together and the girls in another. The program started with games the children was familiar of. The palpable energy was so contagious that it upped my vigor ante.

They say a child smiles on the average 400 times a day compared to an adult whose smile average is 15 times a day on a good day. What a great reward to be able to smile like a child again –that smile of pure joy and unadulterated innocence.
Trip to Jerusalem
To see a child’s smile is one of life’s greatest blessings. I smiled 400 times that Saturday afternoon.
