Afternoon Delight with the Kids of Manila Boystown

It was an afternoon of fun and laughter at the Manila Boystown in Parang, Marikina City - an outreach project of ASMSI Batch '95 for the benefit of some abandoned, forgotten, and voluntarily surrendered children.
The Batch with the support of some generous individual gives rubber shoes for boys and dress for girls and afternoon treat of Jollibee spaghetti + yum and Zesto drinks. The children had so much fun and so do we.

Selected boys and girls group rendered us some dance numbers as a gesture of thanks. c",)

Thanks for inviting me to be part of this outreach and thanks to the donors! More power and God Bless you more!

Manila Boystown Complex

A 23-hectare Manila city government-owned institution and facility in Parang, Marikina is exclusively for Manila’s abandoned, forgotten, and voluntarily surrendered children, teenagers, and senior citizens.

The MBT was established in 1947 as a residential care center for Manila's poor boys aged 8 to 16. Aside from its Boys Home, the MBT includes a Girls Home for those aged 3 to 16, a Home for the Aged for those aged 60 years and older, and a Foundling Home for boys aged 3 to 7 years old. Boys Town currently has more than 500 wards, with the Home for the Aged having the most residents at 236. This is followed by Boys Home, with close to 150 wards. Male and female wards are allowed to stay at the complex until they finish high school. (GMANews.TV.2008)
