Laguna University, in collaboration with its faculty, staff, and student organizations, held the “Community Gift Giving 2024,” a Christmas gift-giving initiative with the theme “Bridging Hearts, Bringing Joy to the Community,” at RayMer Village, Brgy. Gatid, Santa Cruz, Laguna.
The event kicked off with the registration of participants, including students and faculty, followed by MCs Rachel Reluya and Renden Laudencia of BSEd English formally starting the program, which included a prayer led by Sharmaine Saez from BSEd Mathematics, and a kamustahan session where participants discussed how the LU community extension has positively impacted the children of RayMer Village.
Mr. Godofredo Evangelista, the RayMer Village Coordinator, shared his appreciation for the university’s ongoing efforts from last year until now.
“…Ang ating mga estudyante, sa kabila ng kakapusan din po nila, ay tinuturuan po namin silang tumulong sa abot ng kanilang makakaya,” said Dr. Rosemarie Sabado, Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean of the College of Education, in her opening remarks.
“Salamat po sa inyong pagtanggap sa amin. Mahal po namin ang inyong village. Pangalawang taon na po natin ito, sa susunod po muling taon ay magkita-kita uli tayo,” she added.
The event concluded with the distribution of ‘pamaskong handog’ gift bags.
