Each Valentine basket was lovingly
made by the Leos. Much effort and time
was spent in baking, decorating, packing, and delivering the baskets. The happy faces of the buyers and the beneficiaries
made it all worth the while. The proceeds of the activity will be used to help
the Dumaguete Handicapped Association and the underprivileged school
children. For the Dumaguete Handicapped
Association, t-shirts were distributed while the school children will receive
free notebooks, pencils, and other school items.
