Santa and his Helper went on the evening of December 23 to the Provincial Hospital in Dumaguete City. Like each year, they had some presents for all Children who were admitted to the Hospital for Christmas. This is the 3rd year the small group organizes the visit. Many helping supporters chimed in and made Christmas for the Children in the hospital a little bit better. The shopping started in October; and once again UniTops offered a 10% discount on all items, which simply means, that the donations go a longer way.
