SCAW Gift-giving

The Canadian-based organization "Sleeping Children Around the World" (SCAW) led by its Canadian Team Leader Mr. Ken Graham and Philippine Team Leader Dr. Ito Torres in partnership with CDAO distributed bedkits to indigent kids of Imus. Each bedkit consists of a mat or matress, pillow, sheet, blanket, mosquito net, clothes outfit, towel and school supplies.
