It was a day full of
love as SM City Iloilo employees reached out to the children from Home for
Girls, a center operated by DSWD to provide care for kids who are victims of either
violence or sexual abuse, and from the Children’s Joy Foundation, Inc., a
center catering to indigent kids for their basic needs.

The kids were treated
to mall rides, games and prizes, Jollibee snacks and entertainment from the
lovable Jollibee mascot. SM Bears of joy were also distributed to each child,
which brought BIG SMILES to almost all the kids. In return, the kids provided entertainment
through songs and dances as a show of appreciation to the SM employees. The
employees were quite impressed with the kids’ talents.
PR Manager, Troy Camarista
gave his welcome message while HR Manager, Irene Caumban concluded the activity
encouraging everyone to give BIG HUGS to the kids.
The activity is part
of the Employee Volunteerism Program of the mall, one of the many social
projects spearheaded by SM Foundation. What makes it so special is that the
resources for the activity were raised by the employees themselves. In their
own little way, each employee took extra time and effort to take part in the
endeavor to bring happiness to the kids.
It was indeed a day
full of joy and love, a meaningful way to celebrate the Christmas season right
inside the workplace.
