Kapuso volunteers spread cheer among children beneficiaries

June 27 2016

Smiles were plentiful as fifty children surviving cancer were treated to an exciting afternoon in the GMA G.I.V.E.S. (Guide, Interact, Volunteer, Educate, Serve) Salu-Salo Together for the second quarter.

 

GMA G.I.V.E.S. is the Network’s pool of employee-volunteers, who selflessly take part and share their resources in its various corporate social responsibility initiatives.

In celebration of its 66th anniversary, the Network and its volunteers had many surprises in store for the children, who are under the care of GMA Kapuso Foundation’s Kapuso Cancer Champion program and Kapwa Ko, Mahal Ko’s Batang K program.

The fun and educational activities began with a viewing of episodes from the internationally award-winning GMA Public Affairs’ animated anthology series Alamat. The kids were also entertained by GMA Artist Center talents Marika Sasaki and James Teng, who each sang a song for the audience. This was followed by a highly-entertaining storytelling session by ventriloquist Carlo Magno who read a story about protecting the environment, which was provided by USAID B-Leaders.

At the end of the day, the kids went home wearing happy smiles as they carried their new backpacks filled with school supplies and tumblers made possible by donations from GMA G.I.V.E.S. members, as well as the memories of a fun-filled afternoon.
