With a helping hand, APEC School Ortigas Extension’s student council and student volunteers gathered at the Couples for Christ Hall (CCF) at Janssenville, San isidro, Taytay in order to execute their outreach program this February 25, Saturday. 

Early in the morning at 8:30 AM, the group arrived at the hall. Once they had settled down, preparation began immediately. Benches and chairs were arranged to seat the kids and cameras were set up around the hall to document the event. A total of 40 kids showed up to the event.

The program started with a short zumba dance routine to entertain the kids. The very first segment of the program had the kids follow along to the dance routine of the Kids for Christ original song, Called to Love.

A game of Pinoy Henyo was conducted, which ended with six teams of two kids each winning a cash prize. Then, an activity with the children was held about how they could be a gift to others around them. In the activity, the younger children described how they are a gift, and the older children wrote prayers for the people they were thankful for. 

The children had their break time where they could eat the food provided by the volunteers from the Kids for Christ organization and citizens of the district.

After a game of Bring Me, the Saint of the Month, Saint Scholastica, was then introduced and discussed to the kids as the last segment.
