I was with @indayclara yesterday but we are not having a date hahaha! If you can still remember, @indayclara have initiated a SMILE PROJECT here in Cebu City and this will gotta happen on June 2, 2018. So, yesterday I helped her in buying the things which is still needed for the success of the said activity.

We first bought the Art Materials needed for the Arts Workshop (as seen on the photo above). We are still fired up since we had just started the journey. I can still even recall how Claire pleads for discounts by sharing the purpose of the project however, we failed to ask for discounts in this store.

Next, we headed to a store that has a wholesale offer of slippers. We just had a hard time in choosing for appropriate sizes of the slippers. Good thing that the attendant in the store was really willing to help us. Actually, it was also because of the captivating smile and power of Claire which made this boy attendant being very dynamic in helping us. I can even still hear and repeatedly hearing her when she bids farewell to the attendant by saying ”I love you”. Such a sweet @indayclara. I bet, Claire was smiling right now.

Under the heat of the sun, we walked for I think less than a kilometer or a kilometer to reach the Gaisano Capital South to meet @kayegrasya and @yellowmajesty. Bringing these heavy bundles under the heat of the sun while walking is like an abrupt adrenaline exercise to me. I can still even feel the pain in my shoulders right now haha! But I can still handle the pain tho.

Since we are so much busy buying for books and sack of rise in the mall, I only had a chance to take a photo with @yellowmajesty and @kayegrasya inside the cab. This is also what I love when I serve the community, I met different people with the same vision and purpose. I am forever grateful to these two beautiful ladies.

It was roughly 30 minutes travel time from E-mall to @indayclara’s house. When we arrived at their house, we first took a short break from that exhausting walk by eating loaf and by drinking cold juice with a little of chit-chatting. After that short break, we then repacked the bundles of joy. 👇🏻

We also select usable and presentable toys from the donations that we have received

And look how @indayclara was so serious taking photos of our prizes as part of her documentation

I am also grateful to the family of @indayclara for welcoming us and for preparing a very sumptuous dinner after we completed the more or less two-hours of repacking.

Look how haggard our faces were


I may have an aching muscles right now due to that exhausting service but I will never get tired of serving just to bring SMILES to the faces of the street children. I hope that the Almighty will favor us tomorrow as we are about to fullfil our mission in extending our blessings to them.

I may not be the right person to say this, but LET ME ALSO EXPRESS MY GRATITUDE TO THOSE WHO HAVE HELPED US BY UPVOTING, RESTEEMING, AND DONATING FOR THE SMILE PROJECT! Thank you so much because of you this event will become SUCCESSFUL!

See you tomorrow!
