Scribes bring joy to Concordia kids

MANILA, Philippines — A season of many firsts was capped by the Collegiate Press Corps’ very first Christmas outreach program in the spirit of giving and giving back to communities in need.

Marking the breakthrough of such a special initiative was a visit to Concordia Children’s Services in Sta. Mesa, Manila.

Through years of thriving by the help of donors’ generosity, Concordia gave homeless and abandoned children not only the warmth of a real shelter but also newfound hope for a once-lost future.

This time around, the Collegiate Press Corps joined the cause.

Through simple presents such as food supply, medical needs, toys and the gift of time, the priceless joy and smiles from Concordia’s kids proved to be the biggest trophy one could ever lift in the season of giving.

A majestic magic and giant bubble show as well as interactive games were held as the lovable kids got to share laughter with one another and the members of the Collegiate Press Corps in one too many riveting moments.

Gracing the event was UAAP executive director Atty. Rebo Saguisag and the newly-crowned UAAP Season 86 men’s basketball champion La Salle, led by head coach Topex Robinson.
