Salonga Center extends aid to some indigent children and flood victims of Dumaguete
The Dr. Jovito Salonga for Center and Development of Silliman University College of Law has always made it as part of its annual lists of events, the outreach program – a program consistent with the fundamentals of the Silliman Christian Education that aims to develop not only academic excellence amongst students/graduates but as well as instill within them the consciousness of a greater sense of responsibility for civic and community involvement.
Last Tuesday, December 20, 2011, at 3pm in the afternoon, an outreach program, spearheaded by Dean Mikhail Lee Maxino of the SU College of Law, was held at Villareal Hall, Silliman University. Children selected by the Dumaguete City DSWD coming from Barangays Tinago and Taclobo were this year’s recipients of the outreach program; most of them were not only indigent but also victims of the devastating floods that hit the city few days ago. The event aimed not only to give aid and simple gifts but also hoped to bring joy to the children and uplift their spirit in this yuletide season especially after typhoon Sendong.
The activities and games gave the children the chance to participate, enjoy, and pick the prize of their choice from the various toys donated, whether they win or lose. After the games, children were treated to sumptuous cheeseburgers and refreshments generously donated by McDonalds Dumaguete, owned and operated by Mr. Nilo Tam, and managed by Rhodora Estolloso Baol. The children were also given gifts of food, goods, toys and clothing which they can share with their families.
This year’s event was sponsored by the Salonga Center, the SU College of Law, TAO Corporation of Makati, City, Dumaguete City McDonalds, Dumaguete City DSWD, and the dynamic volunteers and staff of the Salonga Center and the SU College of Law led by Atty. Myrish Cadapan-Antonio, Andrea Alviola, Ingrid Tagal, Rocky Tinagan, Norman Herrera, Tara Real, Gay Cabusao, Gracelyn Bellingan, Bryan Magcanta, and Cris and Anne Ayerst (of SUHS 1979).
