Brgy. Bagong Silangan, Quezon City
Early in the morning, the Chummy Chum van, packed with surprises, revved its engines and hit the road. With the Chummy Chum team and an eager volunteer onboard, they were on a mission to bring joy to a group of children in one of the city’s most underprivileged barangays. It was a day set to be filled with laughter, fun, and unforgettable moments.
The Chummy Chum Foundation, together with WeCarePH, came together to create a magical experience for children who had never had the chance to attend a real children's party—one where they were the VIPs. Their smiles would be the best reward.
As the van pulled up, the children were already waiting, their faces glowing with anticipation. The moment they saw Chummy Chum and the team, their excitement couldn’t be contained. And as the booth filled with delicious treats, colorful toys, and surprises, the joy in the air was palpable.
The program kicked off with a heartfelt prayer, setting the tone for the day’s festivities. Then, the volunteers—who were students—led a series of parlor games. The children, eager and full of energy, jumped into every game with abandon. Their laughter echoed, a pure reminder that the best moments in life come when children simply get to be… children. No worries. Just joy.
But the fun truly reached new heights when Chummy Chum, the beloved mascot, joined the kids for an energetic dance performance. What started as Chummy Chum showing off his moves quickly turned into a dance party as the children followed suit. Giggles and laughter filled the air as their carefree spirits radiated, proving that happiness is contagious when shared.
As the event came to an end, every child was treated to delicious food packs, filling their bellies with warmth and satisfaction. But the surprises didn’t end there! Each child received a toy, a special gift from Chummy Chum and friends, and bottles of multivitamins from WeCarePH to keep them strong and healthy.
A heartfelt thank you goes to Mrs. Yap for the generous donation of brand-new toys, to Clearlogic Inc. for the much-needed undergarments, and to SM City Sucat for their beautiful Bears of Joy, which made the day even more memorable for the children.
Though the event was brief, the impact will be felt long after. The smiles on those children's faces, the joy in their eyes, and the warmth in their hearts are a true testament to the power of giving. A small act of kindness can truly transform a moment into a lasting memory. This is what the Charity of Love is all about.
