The Star Troopers provided the children with school supplies, drawing materials, toys, loot bags, t-shirt, hygiene kits, multi-vitamins, and also prepared foods for them. Aside from that, the Command also organized a simple program for them to enjoy their visit with the Star Division. This includes fun games, mascot preparation, and photo opportunity with Commander and Staff of 5ID.
Meanwhile, MGen Lorenzo appreciated and commended the Division Staffs for conceptualizing and organizing the said activity. “Actually, charity works is what I am silently praying for as a way of giving back the blessings and graces that we receive from the Lord Almighty. Kahit isang araw man lang ay mapaligaya natin sila at maibigay ang konting pangangailangan nila like theseschool supplies and toys.”
“Let’s create a strong foundation to these needy children so that in the near future they will be able to surpass all the challenges they will be facing. Also, let us assist them on their journey towards maturity and most of all help them become a responsible and productive citizen of our country,” MGen Lorenzo stated.
