Educare Goes to Manila Ocean Park

My son, Jaime, wanted to do some charity work during his summer break together with his friends.  I was so happy he asked my advice and he chose our very own foundation.  

He wanted to do a basketball clinic but I told him the kids might be too young yet and it was rainy season so I suggested a field trip which I had been planning but has not pushed through.  It was a good thing too because it was typhooning days before and they had arrived late due to traffic.  For the day, we adopted 23 kids from the Sister of the Poor of St. Catherine of Siena 

  

We started with feeding them breakfast to make sure they do not get hungry till lunch

 

Then we immediately left for Manila Ocean Park

Thank you to Jaime’s best friends for joining and helping out – Charles Lane, Dachan Park, Gabs Villafuerte, Bettina Lichauco and of course litre brother, Javier joined us too.  Each of them were assigned to take car of 3 to 4 kids each 

The two sisters that accompanied the kids from the Sisters of the Poor of Catherine of St. Siena

Thank you Ocean park for partially sponsoring our field trip – we went to four different places in the park

First stop was the Oceanarium

Playing around 🙂

Lining up to enter Antartica

It was so cute- the penguins would follow the hands of the kids wherever they moved it

Jaime and friends wanted photo ops so they went inside and fed the penguins

Slide O’ Fun!  This was actually fun but not all the kids could ride because they had to be a certain height to ride it

SNOW!!! 🙂

This was my favorite part in Ocean Park!

Bird of Prey was our last stop

Feeding the eagles

This was my first time to go to Manila Ocean Park.  I look at it as a Mall which you can enter even without any entrance fee.  There are certain areas where you have to pay an entrance fee – like all these attractions.  There are also other rides and shows which you have to pay separately depending on what you want to do.  Then aside from that there are many shops and food stall around the place.  

Group Shot before leaving

The kids were all sleepy and tired on the way home 🙂

We fed them lunch back at headquarters before they went home!  Yummy Munla bbq for the kids 

Plus yummy Golden Spoon chocolate frozen yogurt for everyone!!

I took a photo of each of them happily eating their yogurt 🙂

And lootbags prepared by Jaime and his friends!!

Which includes Cheese Curl barrels sponsored by Herr’s snacks!!  Thank you Herr’s!

The sisters have to drive the kids 🙂
