‘12 Days of Giving’ raises funds for indigent children

A mall in North Reclamation Area, Mandaue City has partnered with the Children’s Joy Foundation Inc. (CJFI) for the “12 Days of Giving” this Christmas.

Various food products are on display at the CJFI booth at the Parkmall’s west lobby. The proceeds from the sale will go to the foundation’s programs for the three million disadvantaged children in the Visayas and Mindanao.

The CJFI Rondalla Group will also serenade mall-goers with Christmas tunes.

Through the 12 Days of Giving, Parkmall hopes to raise monetary assistance for the Children’s Joy Foundation during this season of giving.

Mall-goers may buy CJFI bakery products or drop their financial aid in the booth’s drop box.

It has been 14 years since the Children’s Joy Foundation set up its community-based outreach program in the depressed barangays, giving free education, medical and dental services, skills training, livelihood seminars, feeding programs, and setting up daycare centers.

The CJFI has a children’s shelter in sitio Nasipit, barangay Talamban, Cebu City.

Those who wish to offer assistance to the CJFI beneficiaries and their families may contact the Cebu center head Amy Roncesvalles at 346-5952 or the Parkmall marketing department at 344-7817 local 832.
