Art Sunday FnB sa Luneta

Last Sunday, August 10, Iñigo & Angela Garcia, together with the Tuldok team, led an inspiring art class for the children of Bolanday Cooking for Kids, a community group headed by Ms. Ida Arreza. They were joined by members of RAC Makati, who hosted a lively talent portion where the children showcased their unique skills and creativity.

For the art class, Ann Angela drew inspiration from butterflies — a symbol of beauty in transformation and growth, rebirth and renewal, freedom and liberation, resilience and endurance, and ultimately, hope and optimism. These values reflect the spirit of the Bolanday Cooking for Kids program, where the children themselves embody the butterflies — choosing hope and optimism even when optimism feels radical. With her passion and dedication to improving the lives of underprivileged children, Ann Angela not only conducts free art training but also brings art materials such as canvases, watercolors, and other supplies. She even surprises the girls with pre-loved shoes, adding joy to their day.

The afternoon concluded with a shared meal for the kids, coupled with a birthday celebration for the July and August celebrants. Among those honored were Rtn. Iñigo, who turned a year older last August 1, and Ann Angela, who will be celebrating her birthday on August 22.

Last Rotary year, under the leadership of IPP Keith Harrison, the Club proudly sponsored the Food n’ Books (FnB) program, an initiative dedicated to supporting the educational and nutritional needs of underprivileged children. For an entire year, the program ran every Sunday, providing not just nourishment but also fostering a love for learning among its young beneficiaries.

Through initiatives like these, RC Makati continues to spread not only resources but also hope, joy, and encouragement to communities in need.
