Chikka's Lunch for 2


What happens when you put together a hundred kids and 20 Chikka employees in one room?

Loads of love and Jollibee meal packs, that's what. :)

Last Thursday at around 8PM the Chikka Social Action committee and a bunch of mighty volunteers trooped to Barangay Pineda, where we joined a hundred (yes, you read that right) kids from the Kinilian community in their bi-weekly Catechism session with members of the Living Hope Community.

Minutes after we were introduced to the kids, I found myself dancing to "Father Abraham." Instructions and lyrics are here in case you are curious about the dance. :)

Last Thursday's theme for the Catechism session was "Noah's ark." After the dance, the kids were given coloring materials and sheets of paper. They were asked to draw animals that they would save had they been Noah.



We didn't have the heart to tell these kids that riding the ark with wild animals and dinosaurs may not be the best idea... (especially if survival is your primary goal)



Meanwhile, Chelo convinced some kids that a rooster is a safer bet in the ark.


Michelle and Chara were busy helping kids draw their favorite animals...

Everybody's favorite part.


Ready...
Dino, Ana, Chelo, me and Sandy working it.


Get set...
Ate Chey made sure each child had table napkins before their meal.



Go!

Chikka on Tekzilla!



Just a few days ago, I received this video from Daryll Bumanlag of our UI team. Veronica (one of the hosts of Tekzilla) mentioned Chikka as an alternative to sending free text to supported countries from a computer to mobile phones worldwide.

A Tekzilla viewer named Raymond, sent in rave reviews about Chikka! Thank you Raymond! People like you keep us driven to provide really neat mobile applications and services. Check out the video!
