An Afternoon of Sharing at Tampilisan Central School

SHARE BLESSINGS

A simple gathering with a lasting place in my heart

My family joined me in sharing Jollibee meals with students in the SPED section of Tampilisan Central School. This was another opportunity to live out a personal promise to keep giving whenever I could.

Another chance to return to the purpose

For the fourth Share Blessings activity, my family and I visited Tampilisan Central School and shared Jollibee meals with students in its Special Education (SPED) section. We wanted the activity to feel straightforward and respectful: visit, share a meal, and spend some time together. This was another December when the opportunity to give became real.

A moment that deserves its own place

The photographs from the day show a group gathered at the school, with meals prepared for the students and family members present to help. I am sharing these photographs as part of the history of Share Blessings, not to suggest that the students are defined by their educational needs or that our gesture changed their lives. Every child deserves to be treated with dignity. For me, that is part of why community giving should be thoughtful as well as generous.

Doing the work with my family

Having my family participate made the activity meaningful in another way. Sharing was no longer an idea I was carrying alone. There were practical things to arrange and people helping with them. I am grateful we had the chance to make that day happen together, even in a small way.

The hope beyond this event

I do not know when another activity will be possible, but I want to keep making space for it in my life. The photographs from Tampilisan Central School remind me of why the planning and effort are worthwhile: the ability to show up, do something kind and remember the people involved.
