Bahay Pag-asa residents had their first ever Halloween Party yesterday complete with a costume contest, scary movies, a lesson on the history of Halloween, and even home-made caramel apples!
Since we did not have pumpkins available the boys carved jack-o-lanterns out of green papayas and banana tree bark. Somehow it all worked out.
It was a fitting celebration for the boys since they had just (one week before) won first place in performance (drama and dance) at the Symposium of Child's Rights held at the Bacolod Girls' Home. They were asked to repeat their performance at a second workshop held at Bacolod's New Government Center. And they are being asked to bring their talents again to the Regional Center at the beginning of December.
We expect two or three new residents this week and we look forward to the graduation of two of our residents from Therapeutic Massage Program at the University of Saint La Salle.
