As the Christmas season fast approaches, we remember the many blessings we have experienced this year. It is a joy that, with the loosened restrictions moving forward from the pandemic, we will once again be able to come together in person to celebrate God becoming Man and to be reminded that He is always with us. 

 

Since Christmas is a time where love is more felt and experienced, we call to mind those who have none and those who have no one, especially those whom society has put behind bars. When most of us will be with family and friends, most of them will remain visitorless and far from their loved ones. With this, we ask for your support.

 

Following the Give Joy on Christmas Project we’ve had for the past two years, we once again target to give spaghetti and fruit salad packages for all the dormitories in the New Bilibid Prison (NBP) and the Correctional Institution for Women (CIW) for their Noche Buena and Media Noche this December. Through this simple project, we hope that we can once again give the persons deprived of liberty (PDLs) something to celebrate on Christmas. 

 

We estimate that a 1.7kg spaghetti package (pasta, tomato sauce, cheese, and canned corned beef) worth Php250 pesos and a fruit salad package (fruit cocktail, condensed milk, all-purpose cream) worth Php250 can be shared by 10 PDLs. Given this, our target is to gather 3,300 spaghetti & fruit salad packages.
