Last September 18, we went for an outreach at the Anawim Lay Missions Foundation.
Anawim means Home of God's Poor with a mission to build Catholic lay communities that provide christian homes, evangelization, and service to the poor and abandoned in society.
It is the home of 55 abandoned elderly plus a few orphans and physically and mentally handicapped persons.
We enjoyed spending some time with the lolo’s and lola’s out
there.
Most of them were seeking some attention.
I was touched with Lola Ela who was already a bedridden.
I asked her if she wanted to go out and come with us to have
some fun, then she suddenly hold my hand tightly like she wanted to come.
Her voice was like stuttering and couldn’t say or express
what she really wanted to say.
She holds my hand as if she never wanted to let go.
I was kinda sad for that moment because she wasn’t able to
come with us.
I kissed her goodbye though before we went out.
Then another lola caught our attention because she was super
duper kikay.
We called her Lola Ganda because before she went out, she
puts some make up first and wear her pretty tiara.
She’s so bubbly and energetic as if she’s still young but
what amazed all of us was that she’s turning 100 years old this December.
Whew, amazing isn’t it? ^__^
We had lots of fun with them.
We organized some games like “Pinoy Henyo” and even sang a
song for them.
What’s more interesting was that another batch of Lola’s
joined us.
One member of them wanted to celebrate her birthday together
with these lola’s and lolo’s.
They’re a bunch of singers I guess, they sing very well.
No wonder, they were a member of choir. Harhar
^_^
We even enjoyed their song number esp. when one lolo and
lola had a sweet moment wherein they had a duet and sings perfectly together as
if they were love birds.
{Aww, I love watching them…it reminds me of my pretty lola
and esp. my handsome lolo who already passed away.}
Oh yeah, by the way guys Kiki's with us.
Actually he met his long lost girlfriend here.
I would like to present to you…
Lola Vicky and Kikilabotz..
“The new love team of the month.” Hehehehe..
Aww, another cheezinessss, he taught lola Vicky how to do the peace sign..lels.. ^_^
Lola Vicky was famous with her killer dance moves.
The “Pababa ng pababa moves.”
Bwahahahaha..
This one’s really funny.
We enjoyed watching both of them dancing together. Hehehe
{Peace Kiki..^_______^}
Another priceless experienced which I will treasure for the
rest of my life.
Thanks Papa God for giving me this opportunity to spend some
time and to share joy and happiness to others as well as to those who needs it
most.
I would always love to be your instrument to help others.
Hope you can also be an Angel for someone.
We don’t need to have halo or wings to be called an Angel,
all we need to do is to show or give some love and care for someone even if we don’t
know that person.
Have a nice day everyone.
