The 4th Infantry “Diamond” Division, in partnership with a youth organization named Pointy or Propelling Our Inherited Nation Through our Youth Inc. gave gifts in selected barangays within 4ID area. The activity was conducted by the Pointy members together with the soldiers to make the children in remote barangays experience the Christmas spirit. This is also a way of inspiring these children that there is more in life and that their dreams should not be hampered by their environment.
