FLYER DESIGNED BY RENE M. DOMINGUEZPusong Pinoy vowed to make this year's Christmas memorable for the kids and families of the organizations we support. On October 10, 2009, we formally launched Project Pamasko ng Pusong Pinoy (Christmas Gift-Giving of Pusong Pinoy). Click here to learn more about this project.
In less than two months, we completed the Christmas list. Thanks to all the donors who supported this project! Special thanks also to all the Pusong Pinoy Team Leaders worldwide! You all made our Christmas project a success! We could not have done this without your generous support!
RECIPIENTS OF OUR PROJECT PPP ARE:
ULINGAN (TONDO) - In addition to being a recipient of the Photo Kalye exhibit we hosted on December 9 to 11, these kids also received special treats and Christmas gifts. On the last day of the photo exhibit, Pusong Pinoy and Photo Kalye brought half of the kids from Ulingan Day Care Center and their teachers to the exhibit at Tala Gallery to see their photos and to present them with Christmas gifts. Each child received a backpack, coloring book, a box of crayons, two ramen noodles, bar of soap, pair of slippers, and goodie treats courtesy of Pusong Pinoy donors. They were also treated for lunch along with their teachers and some PP team leaders, Photo Kalyetographers, and Tala Gallery staff at Mang Inasal restaurant sponsored by our very own Pusong Pinoy Irvine Team Leader Carl Bernardo.
