Thank you!
Having too little time left to wrap the gift items for the kids of Pens of Hope, I stayed awake almost all Thursday night to finish wrapping everything. (Please click for larger photos.)
Everything went smoothly except for the moments when this makulit na dog thought of disturbing me, sniffing each and every gift that I finish wrapping and lying on my lap 
.
The fun happened last Friday in this classroom….
…where the children started to gather as early as 6 in the morning and waited to get involved in the fun games. The winners got prizes, of course 
. Thanks for Teacher Mildred for facilitating the games.
The children were all happy participating in the games and receiving the gifts from Pens of Hope.
After the distribution of pens and some gifts, we proceeded to raffle off some prizes and the children were really excited! It was indeed a fun day! Please read the previous post for more pictures.
Again, my deepest appreciation for all your donations and support. Sa susunod po ulit ha?
Congrats!
Keep it up! We’ll be here to support you.

Salamat, Amy. Mas masaya nga ako kaysa sa mga kids eh. How I wish the donors who have helped me out in this project were there to witness everything.
