CHRISTMAS celebration will take on a cultural twist for 32 children of Terre Sans Frontiere Children’s Center Inc. (TSF) as they go around three of museums in Cebu on Dec. 17.

The whole-day event called “Kasikas: Kanhing Kabilin Alang sa mga Kabataan Karon (Whispers: Primal Heritage for the Youth of Today)” is organized by Cebu Institute of Techology-University (CIT-U) Industrial Engineering (IE) Department and the department’s student organization, IE Council.

CIT-U IE student and head organizer Charry Arong said they will bring the children to Museo Sugbo, Fort San Pedro and Casa Gorordo.

“We would like to give them a sneak peek of our cultural heritage and make them feel how privileged we are to have these treasures in Cebu City,” said Arong.

Arong said the children will be treated to a fun-filled Saturday of art competition, exhibit, cultural show, gift-giving and games.

TSF Children’s Center is a non-government organization that serves as a temporary shelter for the underprivileged children.

The event is supported by the Ramon Aboitiz Foundation, Cebu provincial government, Cebu city government and CIT-U IE alumni.
