By | Celebrations, What's New at Rustan's | No Comments

On 23 January 2012 the Year of the Dragon begins – and your M&S has lots of fantastic products to help celebrate this important festival. 

Our range of sweets and confectionery make ideal presents, like gold coins, toffees and mints, for children and adults alike. There are plenty of delicious ideas elsewhere in the food area, ideal if you’re having a party.

We look forward to welcoming all our customers and helping them to celebrate the arrival of another very special year.

Aside from the christmas rush, we celebrate friends visiting like Jerome ( For Jerome January 19, 2012 ) and Suharto and Rina!!  A couple who we really love and many other do too!  ( Hilarious pose by Suharto!! )

 When they are in town, we are happy to spend time with them with all their friends.  It’s been a year and a half since they have been back!  Thank you to their friends who always make us part of their celebrations and for being our friends too! They always take care of everyone in their part of town so when they get back, everyone reciprocates their generosity and kindness!  

Sonny and Natalie took us to Lorenzo’s Way at Greenbelt 5!

Bombie invited us over to his poolside 🙂  This is the La Salle group of Suharto – James is not from La Salle but they have made us part of their get togethers when Suharto and Rina are here and sometimes even when they are not! 🙂

CISV

By | Education, For kids, Travel | 9 Comments

My friend, Barbee, sent her son, Enrique to join the CISV camp last year!  Looks like the kids enjoy at CISV, aside from representing our country, they get to meet different people from all over the world, they experience traveling and being with other children their age and a sense of independence living away from home.  They are so lucky to have this opportunity to experience this kind of camp.  

Thanks Barbee for sharing this with everyone at Heart2Heart!

Some info about Enrique’s camp and delegation:

 

 

Children’s International Summer Village, QC Chapter

July 1 to 28, 2011 in Fredericksburg, Denmark (30 minutes from Copenhagen)

His village was called “Our World Village”

Philippine Delegation:  Enrique Chuidian, Luis Trota (son of Rica Tamesis & Robert Trota), Isabel Puno (daughter of Bea Lopez & Eric Puno), Katrina Villonco  (daughter of Hazel Perez & Martoni Villonco)

with Adult Leader:  Anielle Banson

CISV summer camps are called “Villages” and each village consists of child delegates (all 11-year olds); Junior Counselors (JCs); Adult Leaders and the Camp Director

In Enrique’s Village, there were child delegates from 12 countries (each country sends 2 boys and 2 girls, plus one adult leader)

Delegations from the following countries participated in his Village:

o Jordan, Belgium, USA, Costa Rica, Brazil, Italy, Germany, Austria, Norway, Sweden, Poland, and Philippines

o Junior Counselors and Camp Staff were also from all over the world

The next round of CISV camps will be in July/ August 2012.  But, in early 2013, the delegates will start getting together for the Saturday playdays where they will all get to learn about CISV and its traditions; learn Filipino songs, games and dances to share when they go away to camp; make some great friendships and in early March, a lottery will take place to determine where these 11-year olds will go to attend camp.  Next summer,  I think the CISV QC chapter will be sending at least 5 delegations (20 kids) to Denmark, Sweden, Mexico, USA, Portugal.
