One of the ways to celebrate Christmas season is sharing our blessings through gift-giving. Our company, KASAPI Group, has been consistently doing this kind of activity to the less–fortunate people for years now. This year, the company decided to do this gift-giving project in all regional head offices.

RHO – Agoo conducted its KASAPI Himig sa Pasko at San Vicente–San Agustin Elementary School in San Vicente Norte, Agoo, La Union, with the coordination of Parish Council of Basilica Minore of Our Lady of Charity and with the Agoo - DepEd School Nurse, last December 13, 2019.

The beneficiaries of the said gift–giving project were 42 malnourished students and 12 indigent scholars of the said school. The Parish Council also coordinated for the list of names of these students. These chosen students are under the feeding program of the school.

            The program proper started by Joel Fernandez,  Training, Education & Transformation Supervisor gave his short opening message to introduce KASAPI and also briefly discussed the gift-giving activity. To break the ice, our team also prepared games for the students.

After the games, RHO Agoo gave a presentation for them through singing different Christmas carols. As we all know, caroling is one of our most common traditions during Christmas season, to make it more special, instead of the usual caroling set-up; our team did reverse-caroling. So after singing, we immediately distributed the gift packages to the students and we also prepared snacks for them. While they were having their snacks, once again, our team gave ice breakers for the students and also for the parents who were there.

After this short but very meaningful program, on behalf of the school, the principal, Mrs. Montemayor, gave her closing remarks by expressing thanksgiving and gratitude to KASAPI.

The gift-giving project was indeed a great opportunity to extend blessings to other people and to remind ourselves the true meaning of Christmas – loving and giving.
