Orphan Boy and His Toy

Just wanted to share what my Associate PR Director – Sir Mark Parlade, wrote in his blog after our huge event yesterday. Here it goes...

Tired but I can't complain. One, more people worked harder, longer hours to put together today's Jollibee MaAga ang Pasko Bash for orphans. And two, I've lost my voice.

In the chaos and confusion of coming up with a perfect event to make our client happy, we almost missed this one beautiful moment that makes today's craziness just not matter. Thanks to Manila Santos of abscbn.com for seeing it and sharing it with me.

When we were giving out the packs of used toys and books to the orphans, one pensive little boy quietly recieved his. He put it on his lap and didn't open it at first. Then he very slowly opened it and pulled out a teddy bear. With a slight smile and a gleam in his eyes, he held it up to look at it. And kissed it. Then he gently tucked the bear back into the bag and held it close to his chest.

I'll sleep a little better tonight thinking about this happy little orphan boy and his new toy.

And this is the reason why I finally feel the Christmas Spirit… :)

The toys has come a long way....

for this little boy to have a special day. :)
