The Kiwanis Club of Agila Dabaw, one of the newly chartered Clubs of Kiwanis International visited the Reception and Study Center for Children (RSCC) at Southern Philippines Medical Center compound in Bajada, this city last Saturday for an exposure stay and gift giving activity to celebrate its first founding anniversary. Kiwanis International is a renowned global volunteer organization committed to serve the children of the world.
In a simple ceremony, the Club’s Charter President, Engr. Erdsan Rene S. Suero explains briefly the importance of the visit. Suero said “we need to maximize our resources and donations.” There is no other way for our volunteers to find out how the abandoned and abused children are being cared and nurtured but to expose own self to a moment of parenting, he added. The RSCC in Davao City was created by the Department of Social Welfare and Development Field Office XI to provide an alternative home and family to children who are abandoned, dependent, neglected and abused.
The activity was joined by dozens of volunteers coming from the Kiwanis Club of Hamog Dabaw and the Philippine Institute of Civil Engineers (PICE) Davao City Chapter. Games, entertainment, food treats and interactions through direct parenting and exposure tour to the home of around 43 neglected and 17 special children are among the highlights of the celebration that culminates to the turn-over of gifts and donations.
Agila Dabaw President, Engr. Suero and Engr. Angel T. Torrejon, the president of Kiwanis Club of Hamog Dabaw who happens to be the current president of PICE Davao City Chapter, together with all the PICE and Kiwanis volunteers and members present during the event personally handed dozens of premium infant formulas, diapers and other stuffs needed in tending children to Ms. Venus E. Valenzuela, head of the Social Service Staff of the center. Valenzuela in return expresses gratefulness to the support extended by the group to the center. (REB)
