In celebration of Chris Tiu’s 30th Birthday,
he together with his lovely wife had planned an outreach program for kids at an
orphanage. Ever since I became a fan of Chris, I know that his top priority is
to help others out. It is always his thing to lend a hand and reach out to the
needy. Just like his love and “calling” for sports, Chris considers helping
children another big responsibility in life. Tagging us along, his ever
loyal fans, the tiunatics prepared a lot of activities for the young ones. We
actually do this every year and this is our 7th time!!
Friday, 17th of July 2015 the D day! We have dedicated
this holiday morning for the kids residing at White Cross Children’s Home at
San Juan. We brought them not only foods and gifts but love and care we’ll make
them feel that moment on.
Volunteers have agreed to gather donations in form of a ‘registration
fee’ of 200php in exchange of a raffle coupon for a chance to win any Chris Tiu
item. We garnered a total of 8,000php, not bad huh!
Activity starts at 9am. The door opened with 55 kids’ (ages
2-14) went wild as if they haven’t seen playmates in a long time. The
expression on their faces shows how excited were they to play with us. Ofcourse.
kids will be kids, screams of enjoyment
filled the place. Hey! It’s not every day that they get to see their “idol” In
real life and spend an entire morning with him!
The tiunatics hosted the program with fun games such as
trip to Jerusalem, longest line, storytelling and various entertainments. Giving
back, we also had bunch of surprises, goodies and toys in store that they’d
surely liked.
After the tiring
games and run around, finally, eating time!!
Homemade packed foods, chopseuy and boneless chicken rice
meal were served to each kid. Alongside are bananas and bottled mineral water
sponsored by Charis Foundation. Healthy!! isn’t? :))
While they were eating, I felt so contented seeing these youngsters smiling. Most of them got to finish their food fast!!
Then kiddos had photo op with the group of ates and kuyas who made this event successful.
Just like in a basketball game, buzzer beats at the last two-minute mark…when we all know that it’s about time to bid goodbyes. Never would have thought that the hours we spent there will give me this “sepanx” feeling. Might be over reacting but that’s really what I felt.
It is not hard to proffer anything we can do to make others happy as long as you have this effort and ways to actively engage in uplifting spirits most especially to younger generations.
As Chris once said, “We can’t keep waiting for others to make a change in this country; we have to start within ourselves. I always have it at the back of my head that although I have my own career and goals in life, I should never forget that I have a personal responsibility to give back and help those in need”.
I personally enjoyed the event- it gives me a sense of fulfillment. I am able to share resources and bring joy to people in my own little means.
Right after our fruitful event, we headed to Bonchon for an awesome birthday treat. This was the fans time to meet and mingle with Chris, in flesh! HAHA. Kidding aside, I have to commend Bonchon for the superb meal and service!! Thanks Bonchon!!
And so, as promised, the raffle- yehey! All of the tiunatics won!! Glad that Chris came prepared!!
For the Nth time, Happy happy Birthday to an athlete who has loads of talent and intelligence, to the guy who pursues excellence, to an idol who keeps inspiring people, to an ambassador who has a big heart, to an overall achiever!! AND to the busiest person i know yet has time for everything...Chris Tiu!! May God give you all of what your heart desires. Thank you for everything. You know that I’m always here, ups and downs; win or lose. I got your back, Tiuperman!! Love, Cie:)
