To show their love to others as they celebrate Christmas season, the Society for the Welfare of Information Technology Students conducted a gift giving project last December 23.
Three known institutions namely TANGLAW, a rehabilitation center located near BSU gate 3, LINGAP, an orphanage, and EMMAUS, a home for the aged, received donations gathered by the SWITS Officers from students, as part of their activity for the month of December. The donation includes clothes, toys and other relief goods.
SWITS Adviser, Dr. Victoria P. Valenzuela, who happened to be the birthday celebrant that day, started the gift giving through a prayer. After the officers introduced themselves, they started to give the inmates a packed of relief goods with clothes in the table where they can freely choose what they want.
To thank the people behind the gift giving, the inmates showed their talents through singing and dancing which brought joy to the officers. They took pictures as a simple remembrance and while living the center, a smile painted a thousand words between the officers and the inmates. These only mean that outside the protected walls are images of innocence and reality, which reminded them that they indeed were lucky.
