Thursday, June 24, 2010 proved to be a very eventful day for us. Not only did we welcomed Ate Luna Ferrari into our Home, but she came bearing a sizable donation which will be a great big help to us in our day to day needs.
But our day did not end there. We received an invitation from a Korean school to join their thanksgiving party.

The school was throwing the party as a thanksgiving event as well as a going-away party for 23 Korean students who have been studing there for the last 4 months, and who will be returning to Korea soon.
The festivities included a sumptuous feast which featured the Filipino lechon - a must in every Filipino celebration - and was equally enjoyed by the Korean youngsters as well as their Filipino guests.A program followed featuring the musical and dance prowess not only of the Korean students but also of the children from both Casa Cittadini and Casa Miani.
