Volunteers from grades 6 and 11 make a difference in participating in Serbisyo ni Juan, Serbisyong Bosconian. They have the opportunity to be part of the Fit to Feet Program at Agus Elementary School, which aims to spread comfort to young children by giving them slippers to use. Aside from slipper donations, volunteer students also organized some fun and engaging games for the children of Sitio Agus.
They learned how to be thankful for both little and big things throughout this activity. Some of the volunteers asked, "Pwede po bang mag-outreach nalang araw-araw?" since they are motivated to assist others who are in need.
The volunteers also have the chance to try for the first time kapeng binusa, or what we call rice coffee. Despite the unfavorable weather conditions, the volunteers' tenacity and dedication make this program effective.
