Loot bags containing school materials were given to each student. Unit president Alma Yeh gave each child a coin bank filled with fruit jellies while feeding coordinator Girlie Alampay gave Safeguard soaps and face towel packs. Then on December 12, another Christmas party was held for the children beneficiaries of Eulogio Rodriguez Elementary School.
