From the Philippine Information Agency (Jan 10): PMA cadets cheer up orphans, abandoned children
The Philippine Military Academy (PMA) cadets played big brother to less fortunate children at the Bethesda Children’s Home in barangay Tuding, this town.
The PMA ‘Salaknib’ Class of 2017 composed of 189 male and female cadets hosted the annual Christmas party of the children’s home which houses more than a hundred orphan and abandoned children and young adults.
The cadets spent the day interacting, sharing their meals and playing several games the children and the youth of the center.
They also donated ten desks and three blackboards, used books and clothings.
Major Agnes Lynnette Flores, PMA Public Affairs Office Chief, said that the Bethesda Children’s Home was one of the recommended grounds for the cadets’ early exposure.
“We believe that the activity will help the cadets find meaning and significance in their yuletide celebrations even though they are away from their families,” said Flores.
She said the immersion of the cadets for even just a few hours in the Bethesda Children’s Home will help them be ready in playing different roles in the future.
