The following pics were taken during the 2008 Street Children’s Festival held last January 28 at the Museo Pambata. A celebration of the Filipino street children’s rights and welfare, a lot of kids were treated with a day full of goodies and activities such as magic show, story-telling sessions, medical and dental missions, and even beauty makeovers.

Just like the kids, I also very much enjoyed the event. Aside from the fact that it was my first time to visit the Museo Pambata (at last, nakapunta na rin…), it was also very fulfilling to take part in making the kids happy, even if it was as simple as helping in food distribution. Makita mo nga lang yung isang bata na nasiyahan sa pagkaing iniabot mo sa kanya, nakakagaan na ng loob, paano pa kaya kung daan-daang bata yung binigyan mo? Even if some kids are getting into our nerves because of being too makulit, it’s still worth it. After all, kung tayo ngang mas nakakatanda e may taglay na kakulitan, sila pa kayang mga bata? ;-)
