… the party that turned grown men into
kids
The Metro
Dumaguete Lions, well known for their unwavering support for the orphanage in
Valencia, celebrated their annual Christmas party at the Friendship Home
Orphanage on December 12, 1999.
Bearing boxes
and boxes of gifts and armed with prizes for the games, the Lions led by
President Allen Kwan sought to bring joy and happiness to the children.
Several games
were conducted, laughter was abundant, and their delight was clearly seen on
their faces.
The ripping
of colorful packages brought about the cheerful spirit of Christmas, and for
that day, all the children were jubilant.
To show their
appreciation, the children presented a number for the Lions.
