“You never grow up if you always give up.” 
These were the parting words of Kuya Melvin Cruz for the kids of Haven for Children.
Kuya Melvin celebrated his 30th birthday with 30 kids from the Alabang-based institution. The celebration was also graced by his family and friends.
Kuya Melvin is not new to U! His first encounter with U! was when he volunteered for an event last February 2017. He then decided to create his own event. On top of the games, he included a mime act in the program to add an eccentric flavor and remind the kids that actions speak louder than words. He also opted for an accessory making workshop to have a memento for the kids which they could use beyond the event. The kids also got souvenirs and giveaways from Kuya Melvin. The loot bags include imported chocolates and goodies which the kids do not normally have. They were wowed by generosity of Kuya Melvin and his friends.
One of the highlights of the program was the getting-to-know portion wherein everyone was asked of their dream jobs. The kids have diverse answers but were mostly dominated by police aspirations. The volunteers, particularly Ate Shane and Ate Hetty, provided coaching to the kids and give them a step-by-step process on achieving their goals.
Kuya Melvin’s message of encouragement and perseverance resonated with the kids, as the words “you never grow up if you always give up” were wisely printed on the string bags that these kids would use for a long time.
Towards the end of the program, Kuya Melvin reiterated the kids’ value and the significance of reaching their dreams to create a better Philippines. Kuya Melvin expects the kids to be productive contributors to the society in the near future and he is leading by example. The kids are also eager to do the same.
