Purple Plum Fairy and Friends bring smiles to kids of Gawad Kalinga Quezon City


One Sunday morning, yours truly, some volunteer blogger friends and Gawad Kalinga volunteers skipped our usual Sunday gimmick to spread the holiday cheer and give underprivileged children of the Gawad Kalinga QC their own kind of fun way to celebrate Christmas via Carenival Party. 



Held at the roofdeck of the Manny V. Pangilinan Hall at the Ateneo de Manila University in Katipunan, Quezon City. Purple Plum Fairy together with When in Manila served as media partners during the said activity in cooperation with Expressions, Water for Less and KNeutral. Nanay's Lunches with Love also served as part of the said activity as she volunteered to be the kids' storyteller where the kids listened to the story of siblings Tiktaktok at Pikpakbum. Enjoying Wonderful World also made sure to drop by at the Carenival to check out the kids. 





"I feel privileged to do my part in Gawad Kalinga's Carenival activity for kids. Somehow, through this small effort, I was able to spread the holiday cheer to these less fortunate brothers and sisters."


The party started with fun games where kids won awesome prizes by simply achieving corresponding number of points. The Purple Plum Fairy and her blogger friends nurture the spirit of volunteerism, go beyond their daily work duties and 'give and sharing back' all the blessings to the less fortunate brothers and sisters. Adonis the Magician also made the kids beamed with smiles as he showed them amazing magic tricks at the party. 



At the end of the event, the children performed a special dance numbers to thank everyone for sharing their time and effort in sharing the spirit of the season with them. 

Purple Plum Fairy sincerely extends her gratefulness to Lourdes Vindollo-Labii and family of http://nanaysluncheswithlove.com, Ms. Joy Calipes-Felizardo of www.gastronomybyjoy.com for the Water for Less sponsorship, Ms. Kia del Rosario of KNeutral Collection and Pub-burrito and all the bloggers who helped us spread the word and made this activity possible.
