314 Soshal Network’s Museo Tour with Project Pearls

Written by Core Member, Ren dela Cruz

25 kids from Barangay Ulingan, Tondo, under the care of Project Pearls trooped to Museo Pambata last Saturday, May 4 for an action-packed U! Happy event entitled “Arts in the City”. Sponsored by Vivian Tan, Camille Buhain and Faye Condez of The Soshal Network, the afternoon started off with a fun getting-to-know-you game between the kids and the 24 volunteers. Grouped into four teams, everyone were asked to share what their name, favorite toy, and favorite color are to the rest of the members, with the challenge of not repeating a previous answer to the questions. It was a great way to know each other better and bond with the kids, who were delighted to talk about their favorites.

An amusing game entitled “Let It Go” soon followed, where the team members each had to blow a balloon and then let the air out, with the goal of making it fly to the finish line. All the participants had a blast, with a lot of colorful balloons zigzagging across the room.
After the game, it was time for the highlight of the day, which was a tour of Museo Pambata. Each volunteer and the kid they were paired with got to tour the various exhibits in the venue, which were all interactive. The thematic rooms with hands-on displays included Old Manila, Pamilihang Bayan, My Body Works, and a whole lot more–which excited both the young and the young-at-heart.

To add to the already amazing day, everyone returned to the function room after the tour, and were treated to a magic show by Kuya Kobe. The audience especially the children loved the tricks courtesy of the funny magician, who even called on some volunteers to participate in his act.

After having some merienda, all the children were then given goodie bags which were prepared by our sponsor. The program drew to a close after a group picture to capture the memorable day, with the room filled with genuine smiles and full hearts!
