Pampanga| Abe's Farm

happened on Nov. 21, 2015


Abe's is one of the famous restaurants here in Metro Manila.

the very cozy restaurant
After our outreach activity, we had our lunch here.  I made reservations two weeks in advance.  I love that the staff are so friendly and helpful in every inquiry.  They will even reach out just to ensure that everything will be OK.  We had a few exchange of calls before the day of our visit.  I highly commend this kind of service.
On our way to this restaurant, I called them for an advance order of food since we are hungry already and travel time is around one hour.  When we arrive there, everything is already set.  We had a very long table for 26 persons.

Pampanga 2015| Munting Tahanan Ng Nazareth

happened on Nov. 21, 2015
 

"Be a blessing to others"
 
with the residents and the Jollibee crew
A member of our Windangan Group suggested to conduct an outreach to have a meaningful Christmas last year.  Due to time constraint we were not able to do it last year.  This year I was so stressed looking for an orphanage.  There are a lot of orphanages but we wanted one that has not much sponsors already.
 
I love conducting outreach.  In fact, I was able to join a few already.  These gave me a different kind of fulfillment but organizing it is a very different thing.  It simply is stressful.  Just looking for an orphanage is not an easy task.  Added to this is the raising of funds.
 
It was only in October that I was able to find one.  I forgot that my sister in law is working in one in Pampanga. Silly me!  It was a last minute planning again.  Next step is the available schedule since Christmas season means hectic schedule.  Even with our chosen schedule, the person who suggested this was not able to join.
 
Anyways, with God's guidance and help from our group, we were able to pull it off successfully.  Everything just flowed smoothly.  We even have additional benefactors during the event.
