Giving thanks Appreciation Dinner 2019
UCMPFI has a lot to be thankful for! In 2019, its programs were blessed with support not only from regular donors but also from surprise sponsors, all bringing life-enriching experiences to the beneficiaries, and in terms of physical, intellectual and emotional growth. And these advancements extend to the families of the children, youth and adults enrolled under the different programs, namely: Child Education and Nutrition Enhancement Program (CENEP); Grace Enough to Ensure Secondary Education (GEESE); and Literacy and Accreditation for Continuing Education (LACE).


On April 9, 2019, UCMPFI gave thanks, in a simple but special way, to those who took part in making it possible to continue the outreach programs. Gracing the event were benefactors, program partners from the Department of Education - Schools Division of Makati City and Parañaque City, Harvesters Christian Ministries, Inc., Seventh-Day Adventist Church-Sitio Militar, program teachers and staff, volunteers, program beneficiaries and their families, and other guests. Atty. Ted Regala and Mrs. Emmy Huang, UCMPFI President and Chairperson-Working Committee, respectively, gave message of thanks and reported the program highlights for 2019. Mrs. Lily Torrente was program emcee. Part of the dinner program was a video presentation that showed important activities and events that took place in the past year. Short messages and testimonies were given by 2 GEESE scholars, a CENEP alumnus now in college, and 3 CENEP parents. Selected CENEP children gave special performances that thoroughly entertained everyone. A child from each CENEP site gave a prepared message, making it evident that their ten-month term with CENEP was truly meaningful. They all inspire UCMPFI to continue serving thru its programs.
