The Children’s Joy Foundation Inc.’s beneficiaries for the second time performed Giovani Talenti, a theater play that was part of the Summer Skills Development Training program of the foundation for its beneficiaries held in the Kingdom of Jesus Christ Cathedral in Davao City, Philippines.

Last time, the audience of the said show filled the whole cathedral but this time, the number of crowd even exceeds the capacity of the place. Kingdom leaders from different places and nationalities as well as Kingdom administrators, coordinators, ministers and students of Jose Maria College gathered to watch the said show.

Segments of the show discusses about a kids’ life, their worries, fears and what they feel. It also includes some famous stories such as the tale of how the rainbow was created and the story of Everybody, Nobody, Anybody and Nobody. A musical talent was also hosted in the said show as one of the CJFI-Davao beneficiaries May Joy Valdez gave a rendition of the song “I Feel Good of James Brown” using her saxophone.

The event was especially participated by the Batang Kaharian Kids, CJFI Beneficiaries of Davao and even the CJFI Ambassadors David Axel, Victoria Manaday and Angelique Canada.

The spectators really enjoyed the show as a mixture of tension, suspense, laughter and excitement filled the atmosphere in every performance made. As they said that the show was all worth it.

Giovani Talenti was a huge success but the foundation would never forget to give thanks to the effort of the kids’ trainer Ms.  for her patience in teaching the kids what a great performance required

Funds for the construction of the children’s residential facility would be provided by the LGU of Rosario. CJFI-Cavite would manage the operation of the facility by providing qualified and able staffs.

The Municipal Mayor of Rosario Hon. Jose Ricaprinte is very serious in pushing through the project to help the street children in Rosario, Cavite and other parts of the Province to prevent them from being involved in illegal activities such as the use of illegal drugs and exploitation by syndicate as accessories to unlawful operations.

This project, once  realized and become operational, it can be a model to both NGO’s and LGU’s as a collaborative effort in helping millions of destitute and neglected children to be receive a better future and become responsible citizens, who could help in solving the country’s juvenile delinquency problem.

Mayor Oscar S. Rodriguez’s present administration placed a priority on helping poverty-stricken street children roaming around the borders of the province and saw their need of a helping hand.

Thus, the municipality of San Jose, Pampanga gave subsidy to the Children’s Joy Foundation beneficiaries in a form of scholarship grants. The said funding would provide tuition support, books and school supplies of the children and all of their school needs.

The Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) was already signed by the City Mayor and CJFI.  And under the MOA, the grant will be released every quarter starting next school year.  It was a great gift and timely blessing from the Almighty Father that came in a time when it was needed most.
