December is the most awaited month for the CIWEST Foundation. It is when the true meaning of Christmas is express...: sharing something with others especially with those who need it most. All the staff, headed by Mr. Takashi Miyamoto and Ms. Susan Santos Miyamoto welcomed warmly by the teachers, parents and students of each day care.

The smile of the people around is enough to prove that they were very happy to see us carrying gifts, especially the little ones. Everyone listens with gratefulness to the short message delivered by Ma'am Susan, Sir Miyamoto, and the CIWEST staff. The message stressed the performance of each member of day care throughout the year, how they manage and maintain the center for everyone especially for the students.

After the short message, the staffs with the help of the teachers started distributing gifts. All the students were very excited while waiting for their turn, to hear their names and receive their gifts. Everyone was very happy to have school stuffs: cute bags, pencil case set, water jug and a coin bank.

Before we start the main event, which is the distribution of gifts, Ma'am Susan delivered her short message. The message emphasized how the community especially the teacher and parents became responsible for the proper management of the day care center and its value.

After delivering a brief speech, the children presented the following performances like dancing and singing, then the distributions of gifts. All the children are very excited. They talked happily and start guessing what kind of gifts they are going to receive.

Every eyes sparkled naturally with delight and the children came a storm of applause naturally when they saw a 21-inch colored TV given for their day care center. The television will be one of the means of educating students by watching different educational programs implemented by the Department of Education.
