The Adventist Mission & Communication Department brought joy and hope to the community of Limanon 2 Primary School, in San Isidro, Tungawan Zamboanga Sibugay through its Feeding and Gift Giving Program, a heartfelt initiative that became a symbol of unity and compassion.
The program opened with a short devotional, reminding everyone that true service begins with gratitude to God. Learners, parents, and teachers bowed their heads in prayer, setting a reverent tone for the day’s activities.
A total of 34 learners received nourishing meals and thoughtful gifts, while 24 parents were blessed with special prizes. The event was not only about meeting physical needs but also about strengthening bonds within the school and the wider community.
Teacher Ledilyn Bontuyan expressed her gratitude, saying: “This program shows our children that they are loved and valued. It teaches them that kindness and generosity are part of their education.”
Parents also felt the impact of the initiative. Parent representative Majune Cabunilas shared: “We are thankful for the support given to our children. It inspires us, as parents, to continue working together for their future.”
The success of the activity was made possible through the generosity of sponsors and donors: the Adventist Mission and Communication Department, Lanie Ramsdail of Green Ville USA, and Ma. Delia Tamayo, Retired Master Teacher II. Their contributions reflected the spirit of giving that uplifts communities and nurtures faith.
Beyond the gifts and meals, the program reminded everyone that service is an expression of faith. It was a living testimony that when people unite under God’s purpose, blessings overflow.
As the day ended, smiles filled the school grounds, and hearts were strengthened with hope. The Feeding and Gift Giving program stood as a clear message: serving others is not only an act of compassion but also an act of obedience to God.
In unity and service, the community of Limanon 2 Primary School was reminded that God’s love is best reflected when His people share, care, and build each other up.
