Birthday  with St. Francis House
orphans is a complete celebration




     "Sharing happiness to these orphans makes my birthday complete."
      Thus, how journalist Bong Bue described his birthday treat to over 50 orphans at the Saint Francis House in Pasonanca, Zamboanga as he marked his  45th birthday on Nov. 5, 2010.
      Prof. Bue from the Mass Communication Department of the Western Mindanao State University decided to celebrate his birthday and share happiness to the orphans, saying "these kids need more of these kind of celebration which they don't get as they don't have their real families."
      A simple sphagetti party with matching children's party full of games and prizes highlighted the day celebration at the St. Francis House.
     Bue encouraged other fortunate individuals to share their blessings and happiness to the almost 100 orphans at the Saint Francis House.
