Some moments remind us that joy doesn’t have to be grand to become life-changing. ❤️
Last July 26, the pediatric cancer patients staying at the Little Ark Foundation, who receive their treatments at the National Children’s Hospital, were given a day they will never forget.
For the very first time, they experienced watching a movie on the big screen in the private cinema at FPJ Studios, together with Past Presidents Luz Cotoco and Poopai Jose, President-Elect Abby Magat, and Rotarians Con Sonora and Butch Bustamante.
What may seem like an ordinary trip to the movies for many became an extraordinary memory for these brave little warriors—a few precious hours filled with laughter, wonder, and the simple joy of being children.
The day ended with dinner shared by PP Poopai, Rtn. Con, and Rtn. Butch with the kids and their family followed by the Little Ark Foundation’s nightly prayer for healing, hope, and gratitude before everyone went to bed.
It was a beautiful reminder that sometimes, the greatest acts of service are simply creating moments of happiness that will stay in a child’s heart forever. 💙💛
