705 Feeding Program with Little Lights

Written by Secretary, Ate Ren dela Cruz

Famed author, USA presidential candidate, and philanthropist Ben Carson once said, “Happiness doesn’t result from what we get, but from what we give.” At U! Happy Events, we truly believe Ben Carson’s statement and have seen it lived out through our team and volunteers — that the happiness one gets from giving to others results from the individual’s authentic desire to give for the sheer reason of giving — seeking to get nothing for him or herself, but purely for the benefit of another.

Last January 26, a total of 100 kids from Pasig-based community partner Little Lights Ministry, were given the opportunity to come together for an afternoon of fellowship, praise, and free meals. What was most notable about the event was not just the number of kids the donor was able to sponsor free meals for, but that the day’s generous sponsor chose to remain anonymous. The event was coordinated with us by ate Cathy, who informed us that she was asked by her boss to sponsor chicken and spaghetti meals for the Little Lights children to celebrate her boss’ birthday.

That afternoon, our generous anonymous donor got the celebration he/she asked for, as the Little Lights kids happily stuffed their tummies with good food while singing praises and enjoying each others’ company. Truly this event was filled with much happiness, and we are also sure ate Cathy’s boss is filled with joy in the fulfillment of his/her desire to give blessings to these children and get nothing in return.
