00:00While Christmas is just around the corner, and the year 2024 is just around the corner,

00:11it's good to think that we have a lot to be thankful for.

00:16The children in SOS Children's Village in Zaraga, Iloilo,

00:20the whole family is praying this Christmas.

00:24A single mom is one of the people who gave them the love of their family

00:30this Christmas, full of gratitude.

00:34Zhenki Lantang-Sasa of GMA Regional TV is here with us.

00:43They say that Christmas is for the children,

00:46but not all children feel the colorful and happy feeling of Christmas.

00:54There are some who feel lonely every day.

00:58But again, their parents abandoned them and they have nowhere to go home.

01:05Their concern is now being fulfilled by SOS Children's Village in Zaraga, Iloilo.

01:12We empower them to reach for their goals also.

01:15We also make sure for the community as part of the preventive approach

01:20that they cannot be separated from their family.

01:22We have our family strengthening program also.

01:26One of the residents here is Joe.

01:28He was just one year old when he was brought to the village.

01:32He is the youngest of four siblings.

01:34According to him, he wants to finish school and see his father again.

01:40After school, I will go to work.

01:45After work, I will go back to my family.

01:48Because just a few days before Christmas,

01:50Mitch and some children in the center

01:53want to have a complete family that their house mother will take care of.

01:58I want to be happy.

01:59If I don't have a complete family, I won't be happy on Christmas.

02:06One of the children who fulfilled their wish and reached for help was Nivia.

02:12She knows how hard it is to have no parents.

02:15Especially her pregnant daughter, who was also left by her ex-partner.

02:19But instead of planting seeds and being sad inside,

02:22she tried to make her life better with her children.

02:26We were blessed that her business was okay.

02:30I chose SOS because of the children.

02:34They are neglected children, abandoned, and orphans.

02:38For me, I chose SOS because I want them to be exposed to the reality of life

02:44and I want them to be grateful.

02:47For me, the more beauty they will see, the more grateful they will be.

02:53In SOS, Nivia celebrates the birthday of her baby girls every year.

02:59Every Christmas, they also visit the center to feel the love for the children.

03:05Not all storms are meant to destruct us.

03:09Struggles are meant to make us stronger and a better person.

03:17If you get what you want, it's God's direction.

03:20If you don't get what you want, it's God's protection.

03:24From GMA Regional TV and GMA Integrated News,

03:28Zan Kilantang Sasa is open 24 hours a day.
