During the Christmas season each year, the Sanggunian gathers all the street children roaming Katipunan Road and brings them into the Ateneo campus. The students spend a day with the kids playing games, eating, giving gifts, and praying, in the hope of sharing Christmas in a meaningful, enjoyable and fun way.
This year, the ATENEO STUDENT EXCHANGE COUNCIL once again participated in this activity by hosting 2 SOCCER CLASSES.
One of the younger kids, concentrating on the ball.
ASEC's Blue Christmas Version of 300. Once we taught the kids the basics, we let them engage in a game. Strategy and rules aside, every man for the ball!!
