As thanksgiving and celebration of the wonderful two years of The Ilocandia Photographic Society (TIPS), its members thought of sharing their blessings to a home for the aged. The group conducted an outreach activity for the elder residents of the Balay Taripato.
The outreach was titled as Panagsubalit: TIPS gives back. Panagsubalit is an Ilocano term that means to share the blessings. Balay Taripato, literally means the home for care, is a project of the provincial government of Ilocos Sur. There are 21 residents in this institution with varied medical situations such as Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, blindness, and others.
A mass was celebrated by Fr. Joy and a simple program was held starting with a welcome speech by the administrator of the center Mr. Joy and a response speech by TIPS president Dr. June Orosa.
The residents showcased some of their talents during a socialization program. Lola Belen had a piano recital, Lola Flora did her funny story telling and Lolo Renato sang a beautiful song. The staff members did also dance numbers and sang. TIPSters of course did some entertainment numbers with Archi Joseph with a piano recital and a solo number by Dr. June.
Later, the group shared to the beneficiaries their gifts and tokens. There were cans of biscuits, toothpastes, brushes, soaps, detergent powders, clothes, medicines, noodles and other food stuff donated to the residents. They were happy to receive them all and a lunch was later on served to everyone courtesy of Mr. Carlo.
It was a fulfilling day for all the members of the TIPS group who participated in this event. The group hopes to be of service again to the community.
