Kids' Party (Dec 24)

This is the first time that we held it in a public place, as it was supposed to be just inside the compound like in the past 6 years. The swelling number of kids this year, however, prompted us to look for a bigger venue. And the street was the only place we could think of, it was free anyway. A bit of Christmas decors here and there was all we did to turn the place into a party venue. We also got two "No Entry"signs from the barangay, and placed them on both ends of the road, just in case. And when the clock struck 6pm the party kicked off.

It wasn't really that big. There was food, spag and sandwiches and orange juice, but was only good for 50 kids, and more came than expected, so it was really a riot. But my friends in charge with the food committee managed to solve the problem, by getting additional supply from homes. I gathered later on, they also victimized mine.

All in all, the party was a success. For this year, though, we were not able to give them toys each (we only had a few for the games), because of financial constraint, so instead, we added more candies to each of their goody bags. And I think the kids still loved it. For all those who've helped us in this little work we have, thank you very much. :)
