About 55 children from the slums of Baseco and their companions and 80 children from Tagaytay City were brought to the Christmas Village in Britanny-Crosswinds where they were treated to games and food by the Villar Foundation.

“We want to make their trip and stay at Crosswinds, even for a few hours, unforgettable. We made sure that the event would be fun-filled so they could always look back at the fond memories they had here,” said former Las Piñas rep. Cynthia Villar, managing director of the foundation.

During her stint at the House of Representatives for nine consecutive years, Villar has authored several measures, which always redound to the benefit of children.

“In our own little way, we hope to make these children happy through the Villar Foundation,” said Villar.

She added that the trip for many of the children was a totally new experience, which they will remember for the rest of their lives.

The former lawmaker said that giving Christmas treats to less fortunate children is their way of expressing gratitude for all the blessings they have been receiving.

“We want to share our blessing. We also want to help them by making them happy especially during this joyous season of the year,” she said.
