Two abused girls undergoing therapy in the “Pink Center,” a special section  of Vicente Sotto Memorial Medical Center for abused children, received their early Christmas gifts last week.

Junior Chamber International (JCI) Philippines – Zugbuana, an all female civic organization, granted the wishes of the girls through the group’s “Grant a Wish” program.

“I am very happy and thankful,” said the 11-year old Grade 4 pupil after receiving a bicycle and a dress from Sheryl Pagapong, chairman of the project.
